CARINA/18HU19940524 includes chemical and physical profile data collected from the Hudson in the Davis Strait, Labrador Sea, and North Atlantic Ocean from May 24 to June 12, 1994. The data were collected by E. Peter Jones and John Lazier of the Bedford Institute of Oceanography using CTD and bottle instruments. It contains measurements for dissolved inorganic carbon, chlorofluorocarbons, nutrients, oxygen, salinity, and temperature.
Use Cases
- Study ocean carbon system dynamics based on dissolved inorganic carbon measurements.
- Analyze historical chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) distributions based on CFC-11, CFC-12, and CFC-113 data.
- Model nutrient cycling in the North Atlantic based on nitrate, phosphate, and silicate data.
- Assess oceanographic conditions based on hydrostatic pressure, salinity, and temperature profiles.
Strengths
- Data collected during a specific cruise (CARINA/18HU19940524) from May 24 to June 12, 1994.
- Includes 14 distinct chemical and physical variables, such as chlorofluorocarbons and nutrients.
- Part of the CARINA international synthesis project for internally consistent biogeochemical data.
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 the specific cruise track.
