Dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, pH on total scale, water temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen and nutrients collected from profile discrete observations using flow through pump, CTD, Niskin Bottles and other instruments during the F.G. Walton Smith cruise WS18008 (EXPOCODE 33WA20180108), in the Gulf of Mexico from 2018-01-08 to 2018-01-12 (NCEI Accession 0240206)
This dataset contains profile discrete measurements of dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, pH on total scale, water temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen and nutrients collected from profile discrete observations using flow through pump, CTD, Niskin Bottles and other instruments during the F.G. Walton Smith cruise WS18008 (EXPOCODE 33WA20180108), in the Gulf of Mexico from 2018-01-08 to 2018-01-12. Increasing amounts of atmospheric carbon dioxide from human industrial activities are causing changes in global ocean carbon chemistry resulting in a reduction in pH, a process termed ocean acidification. In support of the coastal monitoring and research objectives of the NOAA Ocean Acidification Program (OAP), the South Florida Project Cruises (SFP) are utilized to collect water samples to measure surface water inorganic carbon and hydrographic parameters including nutrients. Samples are collected from seven stations on a bi-monthly basis to monitor the outflow of the Shark River Slough (SRS) into the southwestern Gulf of Mexico. Water samples are sent to and analyzed by scientists at the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) for dissolved inorganic carbon, pH, total alkalinity and nutrient concentrations. These data are used to observe the effects of the SRS on acidification in the coastal ocean.
