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 7 to 12 August 2014 aboard the RV Algoa. A total of 41 stations were occupied along three transect lines on the west coast of South Africa. Eight Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD) stations were occupied along the Kleinsee monitoring line (KML) off Kleinsee, nine 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) off 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...
