Dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, and other variables collected from profile and discrete observations using Niskin bottle and other instruments from NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown in the North Atlantic ocean (off the east coast of Florida) during the Ocean Acidification Cruise RB1201 from 2012-02-23 to 2012-03-03 (NCEI Accession 0154381)

Increasing amounts of atmospheric carbon dioxide from human industrial activities are causing changes in global ocean carbon chemistry. Through the SOOP program we measure air and ocean surface pCO2 and take discrete samples of other carbon parameters. This effort is in support of the coastal monitoring and research objectives of the NOAA Ocean Acidification Program (OAP) and the Climate Program Office.
