    • Dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), total alkalinity (TA), temperature, salinity, oxygen, and nutrient data collected from discrete profile measurements during the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Harmful Algal Blooms (NOAA HABs) program cruise SH1709 (EXPOCODE 332220170918) in Pacific Northwest marine waters on NOAA Ship Bell M. Shimada from 2017-09-18 to 2017-09-28 (NCEI Accession 0208230)

    Metadata Updated: November 1, 2025

    This dataset contains data collected from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Harmful Algal Blooms (NOAA HABs) program cruise SH1709 (EXPOCODE 332220170918) in Pacific Northwest marine waters on NOAA Ship Bell M. Shimada from 2017-09-18 to 2017-09-28. Fifty-one time-series stations were occupied in the Salish Sea and coastal waters in Washington and Oregon marine waters. 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 Washington's estuarine and coastal environments. 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), oxygen, nutrient concentrations, and total alkalinity (TA). This effort was conducted in support of the estuarine and coastal monitoring and research objectives of the NOAA Ocean Acidification and Harmful Algal Bloom Programs and the Northwest Association of Networked Ocean Observing Systems and conforms to monitoring guidelines of the Global Ocean Acidification Observing Network (goa-on.org) and the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Ocean Acidification Program. The official NOAA Ship Bell M. Shimada code for this cruise is SH1709.

    Licence accessLevel: Public, Fair Use Data Statement for Cruise Data: Ocean acidification data from the 2017 West Coast Harmful Algal Bloom cruise are made freely available to the public and the scientific community in the belief that their wide dissemination will lead to greater understanding and new scientific and policy insights. The investigators sharing these data rely on the ethics and integrity of the user to ensure that the institutions and investigators involved in producing West Coast cruise data sets receive fair credit for their work, which in turn helps ensure the continuity of the observational time-series. If the data are obtained for potential use in a publication or presentation, we urge the end user to inform the investigators at the outset of this work so that we can help ensure that the quality and limitations of the data are accurately represented. If these data are essential to the work, or if an important result or conclusion depends on these data, co-authorship may be appropriate. This should be discussed at an early stage in the work. We request that manuscripts using these data be shared before they are submitted for publication. Please direct all queries about this data set to Drs. Simone Alin and Richard Feely
