Summary
Abstract: [Summary adopted from the NDP-056 documentation]

The North Atlantic Ocean is characterized by an intense meridional
circulation cell carrying near-surface waters of tropical and
subtropical origin northward and deep waters of arctic and subarctic
origin southward. The related "overturning" is driven by the sinking
of water ... View entire text

Quality An important part of the NDP process at the Carbon Dioxide Information
Analysis Center (CDIAC) involves the quality assurance (QA) of data
before distribution. Data received at CDIAC are rarely in a condition
that would permit immediate distribution, regardless of the source.
To guarantee data of the highest possible quality, ... View entire text
