The article examines the internal consistency of the Carbon in the Atlantic (CARINA) data base in the pacific area of the southern ocean. It highlights the synthesis called Global Ocean Data Analysis Project (GLODAP). The Pacific sector quality control methods included crossover analysis between stations and inversion analysis of all crossover data.

The article provides information on the secondary quality control (QC) which was made on the total dissolved inorganic carbon ( TCO2 ) data. It discusses the application of the adjustments to come up the final data product in the Atlantic. It describes the methods of quality control such as crossover analysis between stations and inversion analysis of all crossover data. The consistency of the Carbon in the Atlantic (CARINA) data base is discussed.

The article provides information of Carbon in Atlantic Ocean (CARINA) data synthesis project. It states that the project was to create a merged calibrated data set from open ocean subsurface measurements by European scientists that is useful for biogeochemical investigations involving the carbon system. It infers that the end result of the project was a set of 3 data products, one for each of the listed ocean regions.

The article focuses on the quality control of the Southern Ocean data from the Pacific sector which are included in Carbon In the Atlantic (CARINA). It notes the use of crossover analysis between stations and inversion analysis of all crossover data to check the quality control of the Pacific sector. It infers that the outcome of the effort is an internally consistent, high-quality carbon data set for all cruises including the reference cruises.

The article presents the details of the secondary quality control (QC) on pH for the Carbon In the Atlantic (CARINA) database. It notes the use of crossover analysis between cruises and inversion analysis to assure the highest possible quality and consistency of the quality control (QC). Based on the analysis, the estimated internal accuracy of the CARINA pH data is 0.005 pH units and CARINA data are now available to accurate assessments in terms of uptake rates and model validation.

The article reports on the extension of the North Atlantic project to include the three sectors of the Southern Ocean including the Indian sector. It notes the examination of the parameters such as total alkalinity, oxygen and phosphate for cruise-to-cruise and overall consistency. The outcome is the other properties of the carbon system that can be used to investigate the natural variability or stability of ocean chemistry and the accumulation of anthropogenic carbon.

The article reports on the move of the Carbon In the Atlantic (CARINA) carbon synthesis to include the Southern Ocean. As part of it, the variables from the Atlantic sector cruises which include total alkalinity, oxygen, nitrate and silicate are examined to check the cruise-to-cruise consistency. The outcome of the examination mentions that the effort is an internally consistent and high-quality carbon data set for all cruises including the reference cruises.

The article presents an overview of the Atlantic Ocean synthesis of the Carbon In the Atlantic (CARINA) and the adjustments being applied to the data product. It notes the use of crossover analysis to get the estimated internal accuracy of salinity data which is 4.1 parts per million. It infers that through the consistency of the internal adjustments, the CARINA database is now fit for accurate assessments in terms of oceanic carbon inventories, uptake rates and model validation.

The article presents the methods and techniques used for the quality control of the Carbon In the Atlantic (CARINA) database. It states that the quality control procedures are divided into two which is to study the measurements to identify outliers and obvious errors and to quantify the systematic differences in the reported values. It infers that the process focused also on the crossover analysis to identify the corrections/correction factors needed to minimize the offsets between cruises.

The article offers information on the Carbon In the Atlantic (CARINA) data and its salinity measurements. It notes the need of CARINA data to undergo quality control (QC) to ensure highest possibly quality and consistency. It mentions that the evaluation of the consistency of the quality controlled salinity data suggests that they are consistent to at least 0.05.

The article provides an overview of the salinity measurements and carbon in the Atlantic (CARINA) data in the Nordic Seas. It examines the parameters of CARINA data to measure systematic biases in the reported values. It specifically accounts the information of the CARINA data from the Nordic Seas as well as the results of the quality control of the salinity data. Findings show a consistent rate of at least ±0.005 in terms of quality controlled salinity data.
