    • Dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, pH, and other variables collected from profile and discrete sample observations using CTD, Niskin bottle, and other instruments from NOAA Ship Henry B. Bigelow off the Northeastern coast of the United States from 2012-06-02 to 2012-06-13 (NCEI Accession 0138982)

    Metadata Updated: December 1, 2023

    This dataset contains discrete bottle (CTD profile) data that were collected off the Northeastern coast of the United States in 2012. 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. Studies have demonstrated adverse effects on calcifying organisms, particularly some invertebrates, corals, sea urchins, pteropods, and coccolithophores. This effort is in support of the coastal monitoring and research objectives of the NOAA Ocean Acidification Program (OAP).
