PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: This dataset includes surface underway, chemical, meteorological and physical data collected from RTM Wakmatha on the Great Barrier Reef and Gulf of Carpentaria, Australia from 2017-01-19 to 2017-05-09. These data include fugacity of carbon dioxide (fCO2) - atmosphere, fCO2 - water, sea surface salinity, sea surface temperature, barometric pressure, ship speed and ship direction. The instruments used to collect these data include General Oceanics/Neill shower equilibrator, General Oceanics Model 8050 fCO2 measuring system.
