        abstract:  This dataset includes discrete profile measurements of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), total alkalinity, temperature, salinity, oxygen and nutrients measured during NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown cruise RB1504 (EXPOCODE 33RO20150713) in the the Gulf of Alaska from 2015-07-13 to 2015-07-31. The cruise was funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Ocean Acidification Program (OAP). The carbon, oxygen, and nutrient data were collected an analyzed by members at the Ocean Acidification Research Center (OARC) at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF). The CTD operations on the cruise were managed by personnel from UA with assistance from members of the Pacifica Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) and the ship's crew.
        purpose:  To conduct a regional Ocean Acidification Monitoring Cruise in the Gulf of Alaska in 2015 to quantify the extent and intensity of summertime ocean acidification events brought on by coastal upwelling, respiration processes and freshwater runoff from rivers and the region’s extensive glacier fields.

                description:  Parameter or Variable: CTD Temperature; Abbreviation: CTDTMP; Unit: degrees celcius; Observation type: CTD sensor; Sampling instrument: CTD; Analyzing instrument: Seabird CTD; Detailed sampling and analyzing information: A profiling CTD 911 was used to collect the conductivity, temperature, and depth data at each station. Data are processed using Seabird CTD software and calibration file. Post-processing at the University of Alaska Fairbanks includes filtering extreme outliers, extrapolation of values from the top value collected at ~3-5m to the surface. Each cast is visually reviewed for reasonableness and density inversions (greater than 0.02 sigma-t) caused by spurious measurements. This process is facilitated by comparison of the outputs of the 2 temperature and conductivity sensors.; Uncertainty: 0.001 DEG C; Quality flag convention: WOCE quality control flags are used: 2 = good value, 3 = questionable value, 4 = bad value; Researcher name: Jessica Cross/Natalie M.

Data are processed using Seabird CTD software and calibration file. Post-processing at the University of Alaska Fairbanks includes filtering extreme outliers, extrapolation of values from the top value collected at ~3-5m to the surface. Each cast is visually reviewed for reasonableness and density inversions (greater than 0.02 sigma-t) caused by spurious measurements. This process is facilitated by comparison of the outputs of the 2 temperature and conductivity sensors.; Uncertainty: 0.003; Quality flag convention: WOCE quality control flags are used: 2 = good value, 3 = questionable value, 4 = bad value; Researcher name: Jessica Cross/Natalie M.

A SBE 43 sensor was plumbed in to the 911 to measure dissolved oxygen. Data are processed using Seabird CTD software and calibration file. Post-processing at the University of Alaska Fairbanks includes filtering extreme outliers, extrapolation of values from the top value collected at ~3-5m to the surface. Each cast is visually reviewed for reasonableness and density inversions (greater than 0.02 sigma-t) caused by spurious measurements.

                code:  carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer
            type:  carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer
            description:  measures gaseous carbon dioxide Carbon dioxide gas analyzer has often been referred to as LI-COR, because a lot of researchers choose to use products manufactured by LI-COR incorporation for their carbon dioxide measurement. The main component of a carbon dioxide analyzer is a nondispersive infrared (NDIR) spectroscopic sensors to detect CO2 in a gaseous environment by its characteristic absorption. Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer works together with carbon dioxide (CO2) equilibrator (insttypes_id 184) to measure carbon dioxide in the water. To measure water carbon dioxide, water needs to be continuously supplied to a showerhead inside an equilibrator. As the water flows through the equilibrator chamber, dissolved carbon dioxide exchanges quickly with air in the headspace. This air is then sampled by the carbon dioxide analyzer to determine the mole fraction of CO2 in water.
