PALMER in the Arctic Ocean, Beaufort Sea and Bering Sea from 2003-07-05 to 2003-08-20 and retrieved during cruise CARINA_320620030705. These data include AMMONIUM, CHLOROPHYLL A, Chromophoric Dissolved Organic Matter (CDOM), DISSOLVED ORGANIC CARBON, DISSOLVED OXYGEN, FLUORESCENCE, HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE, NITRATE, NITRITE, PHAEOPHYTIN, PHOSPHATE, PHOTOSYNTHETIC ACTIVE RADIATION (PAR), Potential temperature (theta), SALINITY, SILICATE, UREA and WATER TEMPERATURE. The instruments used to collect these data include CTD, PAR Sensor and bottle. These data were collected by Louis A. Codispoti of Horn Point Laboratory (UMCES HPL) and James H. Swift of Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) as part of the CARINA/320620030705 dataset. The CARINA (CARbon dioxide IN the Atlantic Ocean) data synthesis project is an international collaborative effort of the EU IP CARBOOCEAN, and U.S. partners. It has produced a merged internally consistent dataset of open ocean subsurface measurements for biogeochemical investigations, in particular, studies involving the carbon system. The original focus area was the North Atlantic Ocean, but over time the geographic extent expanded and CARINA now includes data from the entire Atlantic, the Arctic Ocean, and the Southern Ocean. This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis. completed historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact HTTPS NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact asNeeded https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/metadata/landing-page/bin/gfx?id=gov.noaa.nodc:0116064 Preview graphic PNG 0116064 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 2014-01-27 publication AMMONIUM (NH4) CHLOROPHYLL A Chromophoric Dissolved Organic Matter (CDOM) DISSOLVED ORGANIC CARBON DISSOLVED OXYGEN FLUORESCENCE HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE NITRATE NITRITE PHAEOPHYTIN phosphate PHOTOSYNTHETIC ACTIVE RADIATION (PAR) Potential temperature (theta) SALINITY silicate UREA WATER TEMPERATURE theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS bottle CTD PAR Sensor instrument NODC INSTRUMENT TYPES THESAURUS biological chemical discrete sample physical profile theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS RV Nathaniel B.

NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information custodian bottle bottle any type of water bottle sampling device Generic name for water collection device; usually used to determine temperature, salinity and provide water aliquots for measurement of a wide range of parameters; often referred to by a specific type of water sampling bottle, such as a Nansen or Niskin bottle. CTD CTD Conductivity-Temperature-Depth probe PAR Sensor PAR Sensor Photosynthetically Active Radiation Sensor The PAR sensor measures global solar radiation from 400 to 700 nm, which approximates the spectral band active in photosynthesis. The response of the instrument falls sharply to zero on either side of this band, and between 400 and 670 nm it increases monotonically from about 50% to 100%. There is no protective glass dome over the receiving surface. Irradiance from the sun passes through a small white visible bandpass filter/diffuser in the shape of a horizontal disk at the top of the instrument. Within the instrument radiation is directed through a series of colored glass filters and onto a silicon photodiode detector. The factory-supplied calibration converts the signal from the detector to a flux of photons in micro-mole (of photons) s-1 m-2. (One micro-mole equals 6.022 E17 photons.) For the solar spectrum, these units may be converted to watts per square meter by dividing by 4.6. (http://www.srrb.noaa.gov/instrument/par.htm) RV Nathaniel B.
