This dataset includes discrete profile measurements of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), total alkalinity, pH on seawater scale, partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), chlorofluorocarbons (CFC-11, CFC-12), temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, nutrients, sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), delta C13 and delta C14 obtained during NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown cruise CLIVAR_A16N_2013 (EXPOCODE 33RO20130803) in the Atlantic Ocean from 2013-08-03 to 2013-10-01. 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.

All samples were kept in a secondary bath at 20 ˚C (+/- 0.3 ˚C) for at least 2 hours prior to analysis. For analysis they were moved to the primary bath at 20 ˚C (+/- 0.03 ˚C).; Seawater volume: 200 mL; Headspace volume: 5 mL; Temperature of measurement: 20 ˚C; Detailed sampling and analyzing information: Circulation of dried headspace sample gas through a non-dispersive infrared analyzer (Licor model 840).
