Dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, water temperature, salinity and other variables collected from surface discrete observations using flow through pump, CTD, Niskin Bottles and other instruments during the F.G. Walton Smith cruises WS1116 and WS1118 (EXPOCODEs 33WA20111020 and 33WA20111211), in the Gulf of Mexico and North Atlantic Ocean from 2011-10-20 to 2011-12-15 (NCEI Accession 0240177)

This dataset contains surface discrete measurements of dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, water temperature, salinity and other variables collected from surface discrete observations using flow through pump, CTD, Niskin Bottles and other instruments during the F.G. Walton Smith cruises WS1116 and WS1118 (EXPOCODEs 33WA20111020 and 33WA20111211), in the Gulf of Mexico and North Atlantic Ocean from 2011-10-20 to 2011-12-15. Increasing amounts of atmospheric carbon dioxide from human industrial activities are causing changes in global ocean carbon chemistry. Through the SOOP program we measure air and ocean surface pCO2 and take discrete samples of other carbon parameters. This effort is in support of the coastal monitoring and research objectives of the NOAA Ocean Acidification Program (OAP) and the Climate Program Office.
