These data were collected by Tsuneo Ono of National Research Institute of Fisheries, Japan and Masao Fukasawa of School of Marine Science and Technology, Tokai University as part of the WOCE_P01_SAGE_1_Revisit dataset. CDIAC associated the following cruise ID(s) with this dataset: WOCE_P01_SAGE_1_Revisit
The World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) was a major component of the World Climate Research Program with the overall goal of better understanding the ocean's role in climate and climatic changes resulting from both natural and anthropogenic causes. The CO2 survey took advantage of the sampling opportunities provided by the WOCE Hydrographic Program (WHP) cruises during this period between 1990 and 1998. The final collection covers approximately 23,000 stations from 94 WOCE cruises.
