GLODAP (Key et al.) data in the Arctic
• Only ~20 stations north of Greenland Scotland
ridge.
• None in the Arctic!

Summary
• Data from 53 cruises covering Nordic Seas, Arctic Ocean and marginal seas have been gathered in one collection.
• Where possible (depends on region) the quality of data has been assessed.
• Xover analysis and inversion is being carried out to ensure internal consistency and determine adjustments.
• Other methods: MLR, basin averages
• Have to be careful and not overdo so trends are preserved, this is the tricky part.
