Fugacity of carbon dioxide (fCO2), sea surface temperature, sea surface salinity and barometric pressure collected from surface underway observations from R/V Tangaroa in the South Pacific Ocean, Southern Ocean and Tasman Sea from 2018-01-04 to 2018-12-23 (NCEI Accession 0184276)

INVESTIGATOR:
Kim I. Currie - National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research Limited (NIWA)

PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: This dataset includes surface underway, chemical, meteorological and physical data collected during R/V Tangaroa cruises in the South Pacific Ocean, Southern Ocean and Tasman Sea from 2018-01-04 to 2018-12-23. These data include fugacity of carbon dioxide (fCO2), sea surface temperature, sea surface salinity and barometric pressure. The instruments used to collect these data include carbon dioxide gas analyzer and shower head chamber equilibrator for autonomous carbon dioxide measurements.
