This dataset includes surface underway, chemical, meteorological and physical data collected during NOAA Ship Gordon Gunter cruises in the Gulf of Mexico and North Atlantic Ocean from 2016-04-10 to 2016-11-22. These data include partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide - atmosphere, partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide - water, sea surface temperature, sea surface salinity and barometric pressure. The instruments used to collect these data include Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer and Shower head chamber equilibrator for autonomous carbon dioxide (CO2) measurement. These data were collected by Rik Wanninkhof, Denis Pierrot and Kevin Sullivan of NOAA Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory as part of the Gordon_Gunter_Coastal_Cruises_2016. The Global Coastal Carbon Data Project data includes the bottle (discrete) and surface (underway) carbon-related measurements from coastal research cruises, the data from time series cruises and coastal moorings. The coastal regions data are very important for the understanding of carbon cycle on the continental margins.
