PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: This dataset includes Surface underway, chemical, meteorological and physical data collected from Atlantic Companion in the Inner Sea - West Coast Scotland, Irish Sea and St. George's Channel, Labrador Sea and North Atlantic Ocean from 2012-03-17 to 2012-12-06. These data include 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, Shower head chamber equilibrator for autonomous carbon dioxide (CO2) measurement and thermosalinographs. These data were collected by Meike Becker and Arne Körtzinger of GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel and Tobias Steinhoff of Leibniz Institut Fur Meereswissenschaften as part of the VOS_Atlantic_Companion_Line_2012_COM12-05, VOS_Atlantic_Companion_Line_2012_COM12-06, VOS_Atlantic_Companion_Line_2012_COM12-09, VOS_Atlantic_Companion_Line_2012_COM12_07, VOS_Atlantic_Companion_Line_2012_COM12_08, VOS_Atlantic_Companion_Line_2012_COM12_11, VOS_Atlantic_Companion_Line_2012_COM12_12, VOS_Atlantic_Companion_Line_2012_COM12_13, VOS_Atlantic_Companion_Line_2012_COM12_16, VOS_Atlantic_Companion_Line_2012_COM12_17, VOS_Atlantic_Companion_Line_2012_COM12_18 and VOS_Atlantic_Companion_Line_2012_COM12_20 data set.
