Discrete sample and profile data collected from the HAAKON MOSBY research vessel during cruise CARINA/58AA19950217. The dataset includes measurements of dissolved inorganic carbon, pH, alkalinity, chlorofluorocarbons, nutrients, dissolved oxygen, salinity, and temperature in the North Greenland Sea and Norwegian Sea. Data were collected by researchers from the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research, University of Bergen, and University of Gothenburg between February 17 and March 18, 1995.
Use Cases
- Modeling ocean carbon uptake and acidification based on dissolved inorganic carbon and pH measurements
- Analyzing chlorofluorocarbon distributions as tracers for ocean circulation and ventilation
- Studying nutrient cycling and biogeochemical relationships based on nitrate, phosphate, and silicate data
- Investigating water column structure and properties based on CTD-derived salinity, temperature, and pressure profiles
Strengths
- Data collected during a specific research cruise (CARINA/58AA19950217) providing a coherent snapshot
- Includes multiple key biogeochemical variables (15 listed) for integrated analysis
- Part of the CARINA international synthesis project aiming for internal consistency
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- Data covers a limited temporal window (one month in 1995)
