This is a map of the station locations from the global survey which have carbon measurements. The red stations indicate measurements collected as part of the US WOCE one time survey. The yellow stations were a part of NOAA’s OACES program. We have also made an effort to incorporate as much international data as possible. The blue stations in the Indian Ocean are from the French. Pacific data came from the Australians, Japanese, and Canadians. Much of the new Atlantic work was performed by the Europeans. The synthesis began in the Indian Ocean. These cruises had the best coordination are required the least effort to synthesize. We have just completed the Pacific synthesis and are now moving on to the Atlantic. All together we hope to have something on the order of 100,000 unique sample locations with at least two measured carbon parameters.
