Measurements of the dissolved inorganic carbon system and associated biogeochemical parameters in the Canadian Arctic, 1974–2009
We have assembled and conducted primary quality control on previously publicly unavailable water column measurements of the dissolved inorganic carbon system and associated biogeochemical parameters (oxygen, nutrients, etc.) made on 26 cruises in the subarctic and Arctic regions dating back to 1974....

Summary: | We have assembled and conducted primary quality control on previously
publicly unavailable water column measurements of the dissolved inorganic
carbon system and associated biogeochemical parameters (oxygen, nutrients,
etc.) made on 26 cruises in the subarctic and Arctic regions dating back to
1974. The measurements are primarily from the western side of the Canadian
Arctic, but also include data that cover an area ranging from the North Pacific to the Gulf of
St. Lawrence. The data were subjected to primary quality control (QC) to
identify outliers and obvious errors. This data set incorporates over four
thousand individual measurements of total inorganic carbon (TIC),
alkalinity, and pH from the Canadian Arctic over a period of more than 30
years and provides an opportunity to increase our understanding of temporal
changes in the inorganic carbon system in northern waters and the Arctic
Ocean.
