Description:

The Global Ocean Ship-Based Hydrographic Investigations Program (GO-SHIP) A13.5 2024 cruise took place onboard the R/V Marcus G. Langseth from February 1 to March 23, 2024, traveling between Mindelo, Cabo Verde and Cape Town, South Africa. This technical report documents and details the quality control (QC) procedures and data analyses of the inorganic carbon parameter measurements (total alkalinity, TA (µmol kg–1); total dissolved inorganic carbon, DIC (µmol kg–1); pH on the total scale at 25 °C, pHT(25); and fugacity of CO2 at 20 °C, fCO2(20) (µatm)) from 112 conductivity/temperature/depth (CTD) stations. After preliminary QC analyses at sea, secondary QC analyses and internal consistency assessments were conducted in this report as a means to standardize the QC protocols and ensure a fully consistent dataset for all four inorganic carbon parameters. Analyses highlight that the inorganic carbon measurements for the A13.5 2024 cruise follow best-practice measurement protocols.
