Title: Chemical and hydrographic measurements in the eastern Pacific during the CGC94 expedition (WOCE section p18). Data report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:484714

NOAA`s Climate and Global Change (CGC) Program sponsored a major cooperative effort in the eastern Pacific along WOCE Hydrographic Program Line P18 from 26 January to 27 April 1994. The first leg (Leg 1) consisted of a transit from Seattle to Punta Arenas, Chile. The second leg (Leg 2) covered hydrographic stations from 67 deg S, 103 deg W to 27 deg S, 103 deg W. The third leg (Leg 3) included stations between 26.5 deg S, 103 deg W and 23 deg N, 110 deg W. Full depth CTD/rosette casts were made to the ocean bottom at a nominal spacing of 30 miles on Legs 2 and 3. Water samples were collected on the casts for analyses of concentrations of salinity, DO,CFC,fCO2,DIC,TAlk, pH, TOC/TON, C-13/C-12 isotopes, and nutrients. Biological parameters were also sampled, and included biogenic Si, chlorophyll-a, phaeopigments, and primary productivity.
