Measurements of atmospheric and oceanic halocarbon compounds and oceanic carbon dioxide made during the Discovery 233 research cruise in the Atlantic ocean, April-June 1998

This metadata entry refers to measurements of atmospheric and oceanic halocarbons made by Claudia Dimmer, Cristina Peckett, Iris Soler-Aristegui and Denise Smythe-Wright; and oceanic carbon dioxide made by Luis Laglera, and Maria Somoza-Rodriguez during the Discovery 233 research cruise in the North Atlantic Ocean as part of World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) project. The cruise began on 23rd of April 1998 and ended on 1st of June 1998 with a spatial coverage of +64N to +20N latitude and -10W to -25W longitude.

The data consists of: -101 measurements of oceanic CFC 11, CFC 12, CFC 113 and carbon tetrachloride -62 measurements of oceanic carbon dioxide (pCO2) via an IR CO2/H2O analisyer measurements of atmospheric halocarbons (27 halocarbon species in total) via twin ECD gas chromatography See below for further details.
