Off the east coast of Florida, this dataset contains bottle measurements of dissolved inorganic carbon and total alkalinity. It was collected during the Ocean Acidification Cruise RB1201 from NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown in support of the NOAA Ocean Acidification Program and Climate Program Office.
Use Cases
- Modeling ocean acidification impacts based on dissolved inorganic carbon measurements
- Analyzing changes in global ocean carbon chemistry based on total alkalinity data
- Supporting coastal monitoring and research objectives based on discrete carbon parameter samples
Strengths
- Data is collected through the NOAA SOOP program, indicating a structured observational effort
- Supports specific objectives of the NOAA Ocean Acidification Program and Climate Program Office
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
