1982-11-10 to 1982-11 19 chemical and physical measurements from the North Atlantic Ocean. Data include dissolved oxygen, nitrate, salinity, total alkalinity, pH, and water temperature. The data were collected by researchers from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization and the Institute of Marine Research Vigo.
Use Cases
- Modeling carbon system dynamics using total alkalinity, pH, and dissolved oxygen measurements.
- Analyzing nutrient distributions from nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, and silicate columns.
- Studying water mass properties by correlating potential temperature, salinity, and hydrostatic pressure.
- Calibrating modern oceanographic models with historical baseline data from 1982.
Strengths
- Includes 11 key chemical and physical variables for biogeochemical analysis.
- Data is part of the CARINA international synthesis project for internal consistency.
Limitations
- Single cruise's data from a 10-day period in 1982, limiting temporal analysis.
- Geographic scope is restricted to the specific cruise track of the GARCIA DEL CID in the North Atlantic.
- Exact row count and sampling resolution are unknown.
