This dataset includes discrete bottle measurements of Total Alkalinity, pH (on total scale), Oxygen, Nutrients, Temperature and Salinity from R/V Investigator SOCCOM cruise IN2016_v01 (EXPOCODE 096U20160108) in the Southern Ocean from 2016-01-08 to 2016-02-27. The R/V Investigator cruise IN2016_v01 is the part of the Southern Ocean Carbon and Climate Observations and Modeling (SOCCOM) Project funded by National Science Foundation and the Heard Earth-Ocean-Biosphere Interactions (HEOBI) funded by multiple Australian agencies.

Data Presentation Form Digital table - digital representation of facts or figures systematically displayed, especially in columns
Dataset Progress Status Complete - production of the data has been completed
Historical archive - data has been stored in an offline storage facility
Data Update Frequency As needed
Purpose Extend sparse Southern Ocean biogeochemical observations by deploying a robotic observing system composed of ~200 autonomous floats that will provide nearly continuous coverage in time and horizontal space over the entire Southern Ocean, as well as vertical coverage deep into the water column

Processing Steps
  • Parameter or Variable: Total alkalinity; Abbreviation: ALKALI; Unit: UMOL/KG; Observation type: Discrete, bottle; Measured or calculated: Measured; Sampling instrument: Niskin Bottles; Detailed sampling and analyzing information: ALKALI samples were taken from 55 SOCCOM stations. Approximately 10% of samples were duplicates. Nominal 500 mL samples were drawn from the Niskin bottles, preserved with mercury (II) chloride and packed for shipping via air freight back for analysis at Scripps Institution of Oceanography.; Quality flag convention: WOCE quality control flags are used: 2 = good value, 3 = questionable value, 4 = bad value; Researcher name: Andrew Dickson; Researcher institution: SIO.
