PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: This dataset includes surface underway, chemical, meteorological and physical data collected from NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown in the Atlantic Ocean from 2013-01-08 to 2014-02-04. These data include air-sea difference of partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2), barometric pressure, pCO2 in atmosphere, pCO2 in water, salinity and sea surface temperature. The instruments used to collect these data include CO2 gas analyzer and shower head chamber equilibrator for autonomous CO2 measurement. These data are part of the Ship of Opportunity Program (SOOP) NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown 2013 cruises.
