Scottish Coastal Observatory data is published under a digital object identifier for each monitoring site. No published data will be modified, but additional years of data will be added to resources after publication once Quality control is completed.
We therefore recommend that citations include information about the range of data used when citing the dataset (e.g. date or other parameter range, including filtering by quality flags)

Data columns:

SamplingDate: Date on which the sample was collected.
Depth(m): Depth of the water sample, typically near surface and and seabed
Total Alkainity (uM/kg)
Dissolved Inorganic Carbon (uM/kg)
