attribute NC_GLOBAL summary String Discrete profile dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and total alkalinity (TA) from CalCOFI Niskin bottle samples, quality-controlled using WOCE flagging. One row per sampling event, with event-level effort widened into its own columns. Use this for effort and station counting — summing effort over the observation table double-counts it.
