PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: This dataset includes Surface underway, chemical, meteorological and physical data collected from EXPLORER OF THE SEAS in the Caribbean Sea, Coastal Waters of Florida and North Atlantic Ocean from 2012-01-27 to 2012-11-24. These data include AIR-SEA DIFFERENCE - PARTIAL PRESSURE (OR FUGACITY) OF CARBON DIOXIDE, BAROMETRIC PRESSURE, Partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide - atmosphere, Partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide - water, SALINITY and SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE. The instruments used to collect these data include Barometric pressure sensor, Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer, Shower head chamber equilibrator for autonomous carbon dioxide (CO2) measurement and thermosalinographs.
These data were collected by Rik Wanninkhof of NOAA Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory as part of the VOS Explorer of the Seas Lines 2012, VOS_Explorer_of_the_Seas_EX1237 and VOS_Explorer_of_the_Seas_EX1241 data set. CDIAC associated the following cruise ID(s) with this data set: 33KF20120127 (EX1203) - 33KF20121104 (EX1240), 33KF20121014 and 33KF20121115
