This dataset contains surface discrete measurements of dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, water temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, nutrients and other variables collected from discrete profile observations during NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown ABACO, Eastern Boundary Current cruise RB06-02 (EXPOCODE 33RO20060312), in the North Atlantic ocean from 2006-03-12 to 2006-03-28. 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 water inorganic carbon and hydrographic parameters including nutrients. ...
