Water column data from the Cocos Ridge (Eastern Equatorial Pacific) acquired during cruise SR2113 between November - December 2021

Abstract

These data include water column parameters and carbonate chemistry measurements from the Cocos Ridge in the Eastern Equatorial Pacific. This cruise was aboard the R/V Sally Ride between 2021-11-20 and 2021-12-20. Instruments used were a CTD profiler, spectrophotometer, and Picarro cavity ring-down spectrometer. These data contributed to our understanding of the carbonate chemistry system in this region, particularly the water depth location of the calcite saturation horizon. Xuewu Liu and Kalla Fleger, members of the Robert Byrne lab at University of South Florida, measured alkalinity and pH; Nick Rollins and Jaclyn Cetiner, members of the Will Berelson lab at University of Southern California, measured DIC and delta 13C of DIC.
