Dissolved inorganic carbon replicate 1

The registry carries no authored label for this measurement, so the name above is the canonical series' own description in metadata/measurement_type.csv (variable.csv holds the authored labels, five today).

One row per series, one cell per year, darker with more values — the same strip the front door draws per dataset and a species page draws per taxon. Each row is one dataset's own measurement_type; the label is written once, in the title above.

By depth

Values per depth band at the release grain, one thin bar per series. The bands are the record's own (0-102000+ m).

By month

Values per calendar month, one row per series: CalCOFI's quarterly cruises show as peaks in the months the ships sail.

Range & quality

bounds
The registry declares 0 … 5000 µmol/kg for dic_rep1; a value outside it is dropped at the ingest (drop_out_of_bounds()).
observed
Hydrographic Bottle dic_rep1 1949 · median 2171 · 2368 µmol/kg (5th–95th percentile 1999–2316)
flags
Hydrographic Bottle dic_rep1 carries no quality code at the release grain (its source column is dic_quality_comment); qual_ok keeps all 1,999.
baseline
A monthly climatology exists for this measurement (the release's climatology table: 1993–2013, dataset × grid cell × calendar month × 10 m bin), so the Explorer can draw anomalies against it rather than values.

The same quantity from another platform or another kind of sample, each its own page and never merged into this one: a dataset's own bottle samples would count that dataset twice, an underway intake is not a cast, and a replicate is not a mean. The reason is the record's (related[].why).
