    en: 'This dataset contains the discrete carbon data collected during the 2016
      West Coast Ocean Acidification (WCOA) cruise. WCOA2016 took place May 5 to June
      7, 2016 aboard NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown. It is the most integrated WCOA cruise
      so far, with 132 stations occupied from Baja California in Mexico to Vancouver
      Island in Canada along seventeen transect lines. At all stations, CTD casts
      were conducted, and discrete water samples were collected in Niskin bottles.
      The cruise was designed to obtain a synoptic snapshot of key carbon, physical,
      and biogeochemical parameters as they relate to ocean acidification (OA) in
      the coastal realm. Physical, biogeochemical, and chlorophyll concentration data
      collected during CTD casts are included with this data set. During the cruise,
      some of the same transect lines were occupied as during the 2007, 2011, 2012,
      and 2013 West Coast Ocean Acidification cruises, as well as CalCOFI cruises.
      This effort was conducted in support of the coastal monitoring and research
      objectives of the NOAA Ocean Acidification Program (OAP). Data Use Policy: Data
      from NOAA West Coast Ocean Acidification (WCOA) cruises are made freely available
      to the public and the scientific community in the belief that their wide dissemination
      will lead to greater understanding and new scientific and policy insights. The
      investigators sharing these data rely on the ethics and integrity of the user
      to ensure that the institutions and investigators involved in producing the
      WCOA cruise datasets receive fair credit for their work. If the data are obtained
      for potential use in a publication or presentation, we urge the end user to
      inform the investigators listed herein at the outset of the nature of this work.
      If these data are essential to the work, or if an important result or conclusion
      depends on these data, co-authorship may be appropriate. This should be discussed
      at an early stage in the work. We request that any manuscripts using these data
      be sent to all investigators listed in the metadata before they are submitted
      for publication so that we can ensure that the quality and limitations of the
      data are accurately represented. Please direct all queries about this dataset
      to Simone Alin and Richard Feely.'
