PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: This dataset includes Surface underway, chemical, meteorological and physical data collected from BARCELONA EXPRESS in the Alboran Sea, Balearic (or Iberian) Sea, Coastal Waters of Florida, English Channel, Gulf of Mexico, Ligurian Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Mediterranean Sea - Western Basin, North Atlantic Ocean, North Sea, Strait of Gibraltar and Tyrrhenian Sea from 2011-07-26 to 2011-12-28. 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.
These data were collected by Rik Wanninkhof, Denis Pierrot and Kevin Sullivan of NOAA Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory as part of the VOS_Barcelona_Express_BMBE20110726, VOS_Barcelona_Express_BMBE20110809, VOS_Barcelona_Express_BMBE20110927 and VOS_Barcelona_Express_BMBE20111119 data set. CDIAC associated the following cruise ID(s) with this data set: BMBE20110726, BMBE20110809, BMBE20110927 and BMBE20111119
