Abstract:

Water column hydrographic data were collected during the 2011 Shelf Wide Survey led by LUMCON scientists. The dataset includes coordinates, pressure (depth), temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, total dissolved inorganic carbon (concentration and stable isotope ratio) and titration alkalinity.
