This dataset contains data collected from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Ocean Acidification Program cruise on NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown from 2021-06-13 to 2021-07-26. 133 stations were occupied on 17 transect lines from Queen Charlotte Sound, Canada to southern California USA. The cruise was designed to obtain a synoptic snapshot of key carbon, physical, and other biogeochemical parameters as they relate to ocean acidification (OA) in coastal waters and large estuaries of the northeast Pacific. At all sampling stations, CTD casts were conducted to measure temperature, conductivity, pressure, and oxygen concentrations using CTD and oxygen sensors. Discrete water samples were collected throughout the water column at all stations in Niskin bottles. Laboratory analyses were run to measure dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), pH, oxygen, nutrient concentrations, total alkalinity (TA), chlorophyll and other biological measurements. This effort was conducted in support of the estuarine and ...
