PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: This dataset consists of the surface measurements of temperature, salinity and pH on the total scale. An automated underway pH system was operated in the hydro lab of NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown during the CLIVAR/GO-SHIP cruise on the Repeat Section A13.5_2010 (EXPOCODE 33RO20100308) in the North Atlantic Ocean and South Atlantic Ocean from from 2010-03-08 to 2010-04-17.

VARIABLES / PARAMETERS:

pH
Abbreviation: pH_EXT_TOT_AT_SST
pH scale: Total
Observation type: Surface Underway
Measured or calculated: Measured
Sampling instrument: Ship Underway system
Analyzing instrument: Honeywell Durafet III pH electrode and Orion Chloride Ion Selective Electrode
Temperature of pH measurement: in-situ
Detailed sampling and analyzing information: Please refer to the separately uploaded methods description file A13_5_underway_pH_2010_methods.pdf.
Temperature correction method: CO2SYS, using pH and TA (estimated from sea surface temperautre and salinity) as inputs, and equilibrium constants from [Mehrbach et al. 1973] refit by [Dickson and Millero, 1987]
At what temperature was pH reported: at SST
Uncertainty: Accuracy: 0.007; Short term precision (hours): 0.0005; Long term precision (weeks): 0.004

Researcher name: Yuichiro Takeshita
Researcher institution: Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute
Sea Surface Temperature
Abbreviation: SEA_SURFACE_TEMPERATURE_C
Unit: Deg_C
Observation type: Surface underway
Sampling instrument: Ship's Underway system
Analyzing instrument: SBE58
Detailed sampling and analyzing information: The SST temperature measurements are from the Seabird 21 TSG, which is immersed in the instrument chest of the ship in the bow thruster space. SST data were interpolated from the underway fCO2 dataset to the timestamp of the pH sensor
Uncertainty: Factory calibraiton better than 0.01 C; not verified on cruise
Researcher name: Rik Wanninkhof
Researcher institution: NOAA/AOML
Sea Surface Salinity
Abbreviation: SALINITY_PSS_78
Unit: PSS78
Observation type: Surface underway
Sampling instrument: Ship's Underway system
Analyzing instrument: SBE45
Detailed sampling and analyzing information: The salinity measurements are from the Seabird 45 Micro TSG in the underway fCO2 system. Salinity data were interpolated from the underway fCO2 dataset to the timestamp of the pH sensor
Uncertainty: Better than 0.1, based on comparisons to surface bottle salinity measurements (n = 129)
