In situ seawater temperature (°C) was measured in the ice hole, and salinity, DIC, and TA were measured in the header tanks. Measured parameters were used to calculate, using CO2sys, the additional parameters: pH (total) in situ temperature (°C), pCO2, and saturation states for calcite (Ω Calcite) and aragonite (Ω Aragonite).
