Dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), total alkalinity (TALK), water temperature, salinity, nutrients and other measurements collected from discrete samples and profile observations during the R/V Melville GEOSECS_LEG3 cruise (EXPOCODE 318M19771204) in the Mediterranean Sea from 1977-12-04 to 1977-12-09 (NCEI Accession 0250907)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 04:05 AM | Dataset Last Updated: April 01, 2022 at 12:00 AM
This dataset includes discrete profile data collected during the R/V Melville GEOSECS_LEG3 cruise (EXPOCODE 318M19771204) in the Mediterranean Sea from 1977-12-04 to 1977-12-09. These data include dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), total alkalinity (TALK), water temperature, salinity, nutrients (silicate, nitrate, nitrite, phosphate) and tritium. This cruise was part of the GEOSECS Indian Ocean Cruises archived in NCEI Accession 0163183.
