This dataset includes discrete sample and profile data collected during the R/V Meteor MT68/2 cruise (EXPOCODE 06MT20060606) in the Tropical Atlantic Ocean from 2006-06-06 to 2006-07-09. These data include temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, nutrients, dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), total alkalinity, chlorofluorocarbons, nutrients, helium, tritium, neon and other measurements. R/V Meteor Cruise No. 68/2 was aimed at studying biogeochemical and physical processes in the tropical/subtropical Atlantic Ocean. Observations were carried out in the entire water column, from the sea floor to the sea surface.
