Title: Dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, pH, temperature, salinity and other variables collected from discrete sample and profile observations using CTD, Niskin bottle, and other instruments from R/V Wecoma in the West Coast of the United States from 2011-08-12 to 2011-08-30 (NODC Accession 0123467)
Abstract: This cruise represents the first dedicated West Coast Ocean Acidification cruise, which took place August 12-30, 2011 aboard the R/V Wecoma. Ninety-five stations were occupied from northern Washington to southern California along thirteen transect lines. At all stations, CTD casts were conducted, and discrete water samples were collected in Niskin bottles. The cruise was designed to obtain a synoptic snapshot of key carbon, physical, and biogeochemical parameters as they relate to ocean acidification (OA) in the coastal realm. During the cruise, some of the same transect lines were occupied as during the 2007 West Coast Carbon cruise, as well as many CalCOFI stations. This effort was conducted in support of the coastal monitoring and research objectives of the NOAA Ocean Acidification Program (OAP).
