Discrete profile measurements of dissolved inorganic carbon, alkalinity, pH, temperature, salinity, oxygen, nutrients, and dissolved organic carbon collected during the R/V Mirai cruise GO-SHIP_P10N in the North Pacific Ocean from 2014-07-09 to 2014-07-15. The dataset was contributed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and represents observations along the WHP-P10N section, which was previously observed by Japanese agencies in 2005, 2011, and 2014.
Use Cases
- Modeling ocean acidification trends based on pH and dissolved inorganic carbon measurements
- Analyzing carbon cycle dynamics based on dissolved inorganic carbon and alkalinity profiles
- Studying marine nutrient distributions based on nutrient concentration data
- Investigating water column structure based on temperature and salinity profiles
- Assessing dissolved oxygen levels for marine ecosystem health
Strengths
- Data collection spans a specific 7-day period from 2014-07-09 to 2014-07-15
- Includes multiple key oceanographic parameters such as DIC, alkalinity, pH, and nutrients
- Observations are part of the established GO-SHIP program along a repeated section
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to a single cruise track in the North Pacific Ocean
