PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: This dataset includes surface underway, chemical, meteorological and physical data collected from Ship of Opportunity (SOOP) MV Benguela Stream in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2015-01-08 to 2016-01-03. These data include partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2) - water, pCO2 - air, air-sea difference of pCO2, barometric pressure, dissolved oxygen, sea surface salinity and temperature. The instruments used to collect these data include Barometric pressure sensor and Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer. These data were collected by Dr. Ute Schuster, Dr. Steve D. Jones and Prof. Andrew J. Watson of University of Exeter.
