Dissolved inorganic carbon, alkalinity, temperature, salinity and other variables collected from discrete sample and profile observations using Alkalinity titrator, CTD and other instruments from the Celtic Explorer in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2009-02-06 to 2012/01/10 (NCEI Accession 0112886)

Cave of National University of Ireland - Galway as part of the COASTAL_Rockall_Trough_2009_2010 and COASTAL_Rockall_Trough_2011_2012 data set. CDIAC assigned the following cruise ID(s) to this data set: CE11001, CE12001 and COASTAL_Rockall_Trough. The Global Coastal Carbon Data Project data includes the bottle (discrete) and surface (underway) carbon-related measurements from coastal research cruises, the data from time series cruises and coastal moorings.

The coastal regions data are very important for the understanding of carbon cycle on the continental margins. The World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) was a major component of the World Climate Research Program with the overall goal of better understanding the ocean's role in climate and climatic changes resulting from both natural and anthropogenic causes. The CO2 survey took advantage of the sampling opportunities provided by the WOCE Hydrographic Program (WHP) cruises during this period between 1990 and 1998.

The final collection covers approximately 23,000 stations from 94 WOCE cruises.
