Processed Dissolved Inorganic Carbon (DIC) and Total Alkalinity (TA) data from the Integrated Ecosystem Programme: Southern Benguela (IEP:SB) on Algoa Voyage 262, August 2019

This is processed Dissolved Inorganic Carbon (DIC) and Total Alkalinity (TA) data from the Integrated Ecosystem Programme cruise in the Southern Benguela (IEP-SB). The cruise took place from 14 to 20 August 2019 aboard the RV Algoa. A total of 44 stations were occupied along four transect lines on the west coast of South Africa. Ten Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD) stations were occupied along the Kleinsee Monitoring Line (KML) of Kleinsee, ten along the Namaqua Monitoring Line (NML) of Namaqua, twelve stations along the St Helena Bay Monitoring Line (SHBML), two separate stations in the low oxygen zone in St Helena Bay, and ten stations along the Scarborough Monitoring Line (SCL) of Cape Columbine. Discrete water samples were collected in 500ml Certified Reference Materials (CRM) bottles from Niskin bottles and spiked with 0,02% of Mercuric chloride before being stored in the dark at room temperature for later analysis in the laboratory ashore using a Versatile INstrument...

Processed underway Thermosalinograph (TSG) observations from the Integrated Ecosystem Programme: Southern Benguela (IEP:SB) on the Algoa Voyage 262, August 2019

Here we present the 6-second resolution processed Thermosalinograph (TSG) data between 13 August 2019 and 19 August 2019 during the Integrated Ecosystem Programme: Southern Benguela (IEP:SB) on the RS Algoa Voyage 262. A SeaBird SBE45 TSG is used to opportunistically collect underway near-surface temperature and conductivity measurements during research and monitoring cruises. Water is continuously pumped to the TSG from an intake located in the hull of the vessel, and the observations are continuously interfaced with navigational information. A temperature sensor close to the intake provides temperature measurements of the incoming water (T1). The temperature of the water inside the conductivity cell (T2) is used to accurately compute salinity (S) from the conductivity measurements (C). The programme is a multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional platform undertaking relevant science in the Southern Benguela; it also functions as a platform for collaboration and learning. All...
