Abstract:

Water column measurements were made of Dissolved Inorganic Carbon (DIC) and Total Alkalinity (TA), primarily in the Northern Gulf of Mexico in 2012-2015 during the Gulf of Mexico Integrated Spill Response Consortium (GISR) cruises G01, G03, G05, G06 and G09.

Purpose:

These data support investigations of the transformations of hydrocarbons into dissolved inorganic and dissolved organic carbon.

Data Parameters and Units:

Date (MM/DD/YY); Station; Niskin number; Depth (m); Temp (deg C); Salinity (ppm); Sigma Theta (kg/m^3); Density (kg/m^3); Latitude (lat, decimal degrees); Longitude (long, decimal degrees); DIC/Alk bottle number; Dissolved Inorganic Carbon (DIC, μmole/kg - micromole/kg); DIC error %; Flag; Total Alkalinity (TA, μmole/kg - micromole/kg); Flags -999 = no data, 3 = suspect data, 4 = bad data
