PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: This dataset includes surface underway data collected during the yacht Turn the Tide on Plastic Volvo Ocean 65 (VO65) Race cruises in the Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean, North Sea, English Channel, Philippine Sea, South China Sea, Tasman Sea and Mediterranean Sea from 2017-10-22 to 2018-07-07. These data include partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide in the water, sea surface salinity and sea surface temperature. The instruments used to collect these data include carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer, shower head chamber equilibrator for autonomous carbon dioxide (CO2) measurement.
