PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: This dataset includes chemical, meteorological, physical and underway - surface data collected from NOAA Ship Bell M. Shimada in the U.S. West Coast California Current System from 2012-02-20 to 2012-09-16. These data include AIR-SEA DIFFERENCE - PARTIAL PRESSURE (OR FUGACITY) OF CARBON DIOXIDE, BAROMETRIC PRESSURE, CARBON DIOXIDE - AIR, Partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide, 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 Catherine E. Cosca, Richard A. Feely, Simone R. Alin and Geoffrey T. Lebon of US DOC; NOAA; OAR; Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory.
