PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: This dataset includes surface underway, chemical, meteorological, physical, time series coastal data collected from Downeast Institute Small Vessel, Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences Small Research Vessel and Commercial Vessel Seafarer in the Bay of Fundy, North Atlantic Ocean, from 2018-03-28 to 2018-10-25. These data include air temperature, barometric pressure, partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide (pCO2) in atmosphere, pCO2 in water, sea surface salinity, sea surface temperature. The instruments used to collect these data include carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer and shower head chamber equilibrator for autonomous carbon dioxide (CO2) measurement.
