©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.The Multi-parameter Inorganic Carbon Analyzer (MICA) developed in the USF/College of Marine Science is an autonomous multi-parameter flow-through CO2 system capable of simultaneously measuring pH, carbon dioxide fugacity (fCO2), atmospheric carbon dioxide partial pressure (pCO2), and the total dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) of natural water.

|---|---|---|
| In situ porewater data from the Cocos Ridge (Eastern Equatorial Pacific) acquired during cruise SR2113 between November - December 2021 | Multiparameter CO2 instrument named mvMICA (minimal volume Multiparameter-Inorganic Carbon Analyzer). The mvMICA is a dual parameter system engineered to simultaneously measure AT with sample volumes as low as 0.5 mL and pH with 1 and 1.5 mL. The mvMICA configuration consisted of pH and AT channels encased in a thermoregulating water bath. | minimal volume Multiparameter-Inorganic Carbon Analyzer |
| MICA data from USCGC Healy cruise HLY1202 from the Arctic, North of Alaska in 2012 (OA - Canada Basin project) | Approximately 1,800 continuous measurements of pH, TCO2, salinity, and temperature were collected from August 31, 2012, to September 2, 2012, using a flow-through Multiparameter Inorganic Carbon Analyzer (MICA) and Sea-Bird SBE49 CTD attached to the flow-through system of the USCGC Healy | MICA |
