Surface underway measurements of pCO2, temperature, salinity and other variables collected during R/V Polarstern cruises in 2017 (NCEI Accession 0170287)

PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: This dataset includes surface underway, chemical and meteorological data collected from R/V Polarstern in the North Atlantic Ocean, South Atlantic Ocean, South Pacific Ocean and Southern Oceans from 2017-02-05 to 2017-10-13. These data include partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide - atmosphere, partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide - water, sea surface temperature, sea surface salinity, barometric pressure, wind speed and direction. The instruments used to collect these data include Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer and shower head chamber equilibrator for autonomous carbon dioxide (CO2) measurement. These data were collected by Mario Hoppema of Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research and Steven van Heuven of Groningen University.
