This dataset includes profile discrete measurements of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), total alkalinity, chlorofluorocarbons, CTD temperature, CTD salinity, CTD oxygen, chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) and other measurements obtained during the R/V Knorr cruise (EXPOCODE 316N20150906) in Davis Strait from 2015-09-06 to 2015-09-24.

This dataset consists of data collected during the CCGS John P. Tully cruise 2019.23 (EXPOCODE 18DD20190829) in the Salish Sea and off the west coast of Vancouver Island of the North American Pacific coast from 2019-08-29 to 2019-09-06 as part of the La Perouse Water Properties Survey. Discrete dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), total alkalinity (TA), salinity, and nutrient samples were taken from rosette casts with 10L Niskin bottles and analysed at the Institute of Ocean Sciences. Discrete samples of dissolved oxygen were also collected and analysed onboard the vessel. CTD profiles were recorded with each rosette cast. DIC and TA samples were placed in cold storage for 1-4 weeks before analysis. A total of 61 DIC and TA pairs were sampled with a 22 percent replication rate. Replicates are not averaged in this dataset and appear individually, indicated by decimal sample ID's (e.g. 26.1, 26.2). The pooled standard deviations (of difference between replicate pairs) were calculated to be 6 umol/kg and 5 umol/kg respectively. Replicates with a QC flag = 3 were included in the pooled standard deviation calculation but replicate pairs with at least one QC flag = 4 (n = 1) were excluded.

Near-shore estuarine and coastal regions are where most recreational fishing and tourism occur, yet they are vastly under-sampled. Their susceptibility to OA is not well understood due to their high biogeochemical variability. These regions are affected by land-side processes such as river discharge and run-offs and ocean-side processes through slope water exchange. A full determination of the carbonate system in these regions in conjunction with open ocean measurements is needed to increase our understanding of the effects of OA on ocean health and fisheries and our ability to predict them. In this project, we propose to augment several observational campaigns by 1) adding a carbonate component to the harmful algal blooms (HABs) monitoring cruises conducted periodically on the Western Florida Shelf in order to study potential links between HABs and OA, 2) renewing our collaboration with select National Parks to complement and enhance our near-shore data collection on the Northern Gulf of America and US East Coast, and 3) complementing our underway surface pCO2 measurements in the Gulf of America and US East Coast with underway total alkalinity measurements to help us improve our fundamental understanding of nearshore OA processes. The addition of these measurements to the current assets already present in the region would enhance our understanding of the linkage between nearshore and open ocean processes and better assess the mechanisms and impacts of OA on the biogeochemistry, biology and their economic consequences.

This dataset includes the discrete profile measurements of dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, pH on total scale, ammonia, water temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen and nutrients during the R/V F. G. Walton Smith cruise WS21338 (EXPOCODE 33WA20211204) in the Southeast U.S. Shelf, Gulf of Mexico from 2021-12-04 to 2021-12-10. Increasing amounts of atmospheric carbon dioxide from human industrial activities are causing changes in global ocean carbon chemistry resulting in a reduction in pH, a process termed ocean acidification. In support of the coastal monitoring and research objectives of the NOAA Ocean Acidification Program (OAP), the South Florida Project Cruises (SFP) are utilized to collect water samples to measure surface water inorganic carbon and hydrographic parameters including nutrients. Samples are collected from 34 stations on a bi-monthly basis to monitor the outflow of the Shark River Slough (SRS) and red tide in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico. Water samples are sent to and analyzed by scientists at the Atlantic Oceanographic & Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) for dissolved inorganic carbon, pH, total alkalinity and nutrient concentrations. These data are used to observe the effects of the SRS on acidification in the coastal ocean.

This dataset includes discrete profile data collected during the USCCG Healy cruise HLY1502 (EXPOCODE 33HQ20150809) in the Arctic Ocean, Bering Sea, and Chukchi Sea from 2015-08-09 to 2015-10-13. These data include dissolved inorganic carbon, pH, total alkalinity, temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, nutrients, chlorofluorocarbons (CFC-11, CFC-12, CFC113), pH on seawater scale, measured at 25 deg.C, methane (CH4), carbon 13 (C13) and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6). The International CLIVAR Global Ocean Carbon and Repeat Hydrography Program carries out a systematic and global re-occupation of select WOCE/JGOFS hydrographic sections to quantify changes in storage and transport of heat, fresh water, carbon dioxide (CO2), and related parameters.

This dataset includes chemical, discrete sample, physical and profile data collected from THOMAS WASHINGTON in the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, North Pacific Ocean and South Pacific Ocean from 1991-05-31 to 1991-07-11 and retrieved during cruise TUNES_1 and WOCE_P17C. These data include ALKALINITY, CHLOROFLUOROCARBON-11 (CFC-11), CHLOROFLUOROCARBON-12 (CFC-12), DELTA CARBON-13, DELTA CARBON-14, DELTA HELIUM-3, DISSOLVED INORGANIC CARBON, DISSOLVED OXYGEN, HELIUM, HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE, NITRATE, NITRITE, PHOSPHATE, Potential temperature (theta), SALINITY, SILICATE, Tritium (Hydrogen isotope) and WATER TEMPERATURE. The instruments used to collect these data include CTD and bottle. These data were collected by Catherine Goyet of University of Perpignan Via Domita (UPVD) as part of the WOCE_P17C dataset. The World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) was a major component of the World Climate Research Program with the overall goal of better understanding the ocean's role in climate and climatic changes resulting from both natural and anthropogenic causes. The CO2 survey took advantage of the sampling opportunities provided by the WOCE Hydrographic Program (WHP) cruises during this period between 1990 and 1998. The final collection covers approximately 23,000 stations from 94 WOCE cruises.
