Description

The A16N cruise took place from June 4 to August 11, 2003 aboard the NOAA Ship RONALD H. BROWN under auspices of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).  The first hydrographic leg (June 19-July 10) was from Reykjavik to Funchal, Madeira along the 20 W meridian and the second leg (July 15-August 11) continued operations from Funchal to Natal, Brazil on a track southward and ending at 6 S, 25 W. The research was the first in a decadal series of repeat hydrography sections jointly funded by NOAA-OGP and NSF-OCE as part of the CLIVAR/CO2/hydrography/tracer program. Samples were taken from up to 34 depths at 150 stations. EXPOCODE 33RO200306_01 was confirmed with the CLIVAR CCHDO (June 2011) and the other data sets from this cruise are available from the U.S. CLIVAR DAC at CCHDO from URL  http://cchdo.ucsd.edu/data_access/show_cruise?ExpoCode=33RO200306_01.
