North Pacific Ocean Carbon and Nutrient Profiles from Cruise KS11-01, 2011

Discrete profile measurements of dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, pH, temperature, salinity, oxygen, and nutrients collected during the R/V Keifu Maru II cruise KS11-01. The data was gathered in the North Pacific Ocean from January 8 to January 25, 2011, and is provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Use Cases

• Modeling ocean acidification based on dissolved inorganic carbon and pH measurements.
• Studying marine biogeochemistry based on nutrient and oxygen profiles.
• Analyzing water mass properties based on concurrent temperature and salinity data.
• Calibrating ocean carbon models based on discrete alkalinity and carbon measurements.

Strengths

• Includes multiple co-located chemical and physical parameters for integrated analysis.
• Data is associated with a specific research cruise (KS11-01) and time period (January 2011).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
