PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: This dataset consists of sea surface underway measurements of partial pressure of carbon dioxide, temperature, salinity and barometric pressure during the Ship of Opportunity (SOOP) C/S Allure of the Seas cruise lines in the Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico and North Atlantic Ocean in from 2019-01-13 to 2020-01-05. In 2015, the Ocean Carbon Group at NOAA's Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) installed an autonomous instrument to measure CO2 levels in surface water and air on the Cruise Ship (C/S) Allure of the Seas.

| Equilibrator type: | Spray head above dynamic pool, with thermal jacket |
| Equilibrator volume: | 0.95 L (0.4 L water, 0.55 L headspace) |
| Is the equilibrator vented or not: | Vented |
| Water flow rate: | 1.5 - 2.0 L/min |

| How was temperature inside the equilibrator measured: | Hart Scientific model 1523 digital thermometer |
| How was pressure inside the equilibrator measured: | External Setra 270 connected to the exit of the analyzer |
| Drying method for gas: | Gas stream passes through a thermoelectric condenser (~5 C) and then through a Perma Pure (Nafion) dryer before reaching the analyzer (90% dry). |
| SEA CO2 gas detector manufacturer: | Licor, Inc |
| SEA CO2 gas detector model: | Licor 6262 |
| SEA CO2 gas detector resolution: | Accuracy: +/- 2 uatm in fCO2_SW |

| Standardization technique: | The system runs a full cycle in approximately 5 hours. The cycle starts with 4 standard gases, then measures three rounds of 6 atmopherice samples followed by 50 surface water samples. Each new gas is flushed through the Licor Analyzer for 2 minutes prior to a stop-flow measurement. |
| Standardization frequency: | Every 7 hours |
| Standard gas manufacturer: | Standard gases are supplied by NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory, Global Monitoring Division, in Boulder, CO, and are directly traceable to the WMO scale. |
| Standard gas concentration: | Std 1: CA04890, 282.59 ppm, owned by ESRL, used every ~4.5 hours. Std 2: CC115007, 381.53 ppm, owned by ESRL, used every ~4.5 hours.

| Standard gas uncertainty: | 0.01 ppm |
| Water vapor correction method: | Details of the data reduction are described in Pierrot, et.al. (2009). |
| Temperature correction method: | Details of the data reduction are described in Pierrot, et.al. (2009). |
| At what temperature was pCO2 reported: | In situ sea surface temperature |
