PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: This dataset includes chemical, meteorological, physical and surface underway data collected from Allure Of The Seas in the Caribbean Sea, Coastal Waters of Florida, Gulf of Mexico and North Atlantic Ocean from 2016-04-10 to 2017-01-02. 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.
