PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: This dataset includes Surface underway, chemical, meteorological and physical data collected from NOAA Ship GORDON GUNTER in the Caribbean Sea, Coastal Waters of Mississippi, Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, Gulf of Mexico and North Atlantic Ocean from 2010-04-08 to 2010-11-23. 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 Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer and Shower head chamber equilibrator for autonomous carbon dioxide (CO2) measurement. These data were collected by Rik Wanninkhof and Denis Pierrot of NOAA Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory as part of the Gordon_Gunter_Coastal_Cruises_UW_33GG20100408, Gordon_Gunter_Coastal_Cruises_UW_33GG20100422, Gordon_Gunter_Coastal_Cruises_UW_33GG20100502, Gordon_Gunter_Coastal_Cruises_UW_33GG20100824, Gordon_Gunter_Coastal_Cruises_UW_33GG20100915, Gordon_Gunter_Coastal_Cruises_UW_33GG20101008 and Gordon_Gunter_Coastal_Cruises_UW_33GG20101105 data set. CDIAC associated the following cruise ID(s) with this data set: 33GG20100408, 33GG20100422, 33GG20100502, 33GG20100824, 33GG20100915, 33GG20101008 and 33GG20101105 The Global Coastal Carbon Data Project data includes the bottle (discrete) and surface (underway) carbon-related measurements from coastal research cruises, the data from time series cruises and coastal moorings. The coastal regions data are very important for the understanding of carbon cycle on the continental margins.
