Summary

Description

NODC Accession 0108118 includes biological, chemical, discrete sample, meteorological, physical, profile and underway - surface data collected from ROGER REVELLE in the Indian Ocean from 2008-02-04 to 2008-03-17 and retrieved during cruise 33RR20080204. These data include AIR TEMPERATURE, ALKALINITY, BAROMETRIC PRESSURE, CARBON DIOXIDE - AIR, CARBON DIOXIDE - PARTIAL PRESSURE - DIFFERENCE, CHLOROFLUOROCARBON-11 (CFC-11), CHLOROFLUOROCARBON-113 (CFC-113), CHLOROFLUOROCARBON-12 (CFC-12), DELTA CARBON-13, DELTA CARBON-14, DELTA HELIUM-3, DISSOLVED INORGANIC CARBON, DISSOLVED ORGANIC CARBON, DISSOLVED OXYGEN, FLUORESCENCE, HELIUM, HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE, NITRATE, NITRITE, PHOSPHATE, Partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide, SALINITY, SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE, SILICATE, TRITIUM, WATER TEMPERATURE, WIND DIRECTION and WIND SPEED. The instruments used to collect these data include Alkalinity titrator, Barometric pressure sensor, CTD, Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer, Coulometer for DIC measurement, Shower head chamber equilibrator for autonomous carbon dioxide (CO2) measurement, Spectrophometer for pH measrement, bottle and thermosalinographs. These data were collected by Andrew Dickson of Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Dr. Rik H. Wanninkhof and Rik Wanninkhof of US DOC; NOAA; OAR; Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory and Craig A. Carlson of University of California - Santa Barbara as part of the CLIVAR I06S_2008 Underway data and CLIVAR_I06S_2008 data set. 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.
