PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: This dataset includes chemical, meteorological, physical and underway - surface data collected from EXPLORER OF THE SEAS in the Caribbean Sea and North Atlantic Ocean from 2008-02-13 to 2008-12-11 and retrieved during cruise 33KF20080213 (EX0801), 33KF20080817 (EX0824) and 33KF20081201 (EX0839). These data include ALKALINITY, BAROMETRIC PRESSURE, CARBON DIOXIDE - AIR, CARBON DIOXIDE - PARTIAL PRESSURE - DIFFERENCE, DISSOLVED INORGANIC CARBON, Partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide, SALINITY, SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE and WATER TEMPERATURE. The instruments used to collect these data include Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer and Shower head chamber equilibrator for autonomous carbon dioxide (CO2) measurement. These data were collected by Rik Wanninkhof of NOAA Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory as part of the VOS Explorer of the Seas Lines 2008 data set.
