PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: This dataset includes Surface underway, chemical, meteorological and physical data collected from Cap Blanche in the North Pacific Ocean and South Pacific Ocean from 2015-03-28 to 2015-12-04. 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 and thermosalinographs. These data were collected by Catherine E. Cosca, Richard A. Feely and Simone R. Alin of US DOC; NOAA; OAR; Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory as part of the VOS_Cap_Blanche_AG5W20150328, VOS_Cap_Blanche_AG5W20150524, VOS_Cap_Blanche_AG5W20150930 and VOS_Cap_Blanche_AG5W20151120 data set. CDIAC associated the following cruise ID(s) with this data set: AG5W20150328, AG5W20150524, AG5W20150930 and AG5W20151120
