UK-NERC Shelf Seas Biogeochemistry Surface Underway Measurements During R/V Discovery UK Coastal Cruises in 2017 (NCEI Accession 0170050)
PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: This dataset includes surface underway, chemical, meteorological and physical data collected from R/V Discovery in the English Channel, Celtic Sea and North Atlantic Ocean from 2017-04-14 to 2017-04-30. These data include partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide - atmosphere, partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide - water, sea surface salinity and sea surface temperature and barometric pressure. The instruments used to collect these data include barometric pressure sensor and carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer. These data were collected by Dr. Vassilis Kitidis of Plymouth Marine Laboratory as part of R/V Discovery Coastal Cruises data set.
