January-February 2011 discrete profile measurements of dissolved inorganic carbon, alkalinity, temperature, salinity, oxygen, nutrients, and delta C13 collected during the R/V Marion Dufresne cruise CLIVAR_OISO19 in the Indian Ocean. These data were collected by Claire Lo Monaco and Nicolas Metzl of Sorbonne University as part of the International CLIVAR Global Ocean Carbon and Repeat Hydrography Program.
Use Cases
- Quantify changes in ocean carbon storage based on dissolved inorganic carbon and total alkalinity measurements
- Analyze ocean acidification trends based on carbonate system parameters
- Model nutrient distributions and biogeochemical cycles based on nitrate and phosphate data
- Study ocean circulation and water mass properties based on temperature and salinity profiles
- Validate global carbon cycle models based on repeat hydrography data
Strengths
- Data collected as part of the systematic International CLIVAR Global Ocean Carbon and Repeat Hydrography Program
- Includes multiple key oceanographic parameters: DIC, alkalinity, oxygen, nutrients, and delta C13
- Specific cruise and time range documented: R/V Marion Dufresne cruise CLIVAR_OISO19 from 2011-01-14 to 2011-02-20
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
