Field Activity 12BHM02

Identifier 12BHM02
Purpose Establish baseline values for regional carbon flux between sea and air.
Location Two transects on the west Florida shelf. One transect extends out from Tampa Bay (~10 m to 860 m on the shelf/slope) and the other transect extends from the Big Bend area out to the shelf/slope.
Info derived DIC, pCO2, pH, Alkalinity, d18O, d13C, dD, T, S, Chlorophyll.
