UK-NERC Shelf Seas Biogeochemistry Measurements During R/V Discovery UK Coastal Cruises in 2014 (NCEI Accession 0157462)

browse graphicPreview graphic
This dataset includes surface underway, chemical, meteorological and physical data collected from R/V Discovery in the English Channel, Celtic Sea and North Atlantic Ocean from 2014-03-20 to 2014-11-27. These data include partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide - atmosphere, partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide - water, sea surface salinity and sea surface temperature and barometric pressure. The instruments used to collect these data include barometric pressure sensor and carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer. These data were collected by Dr. Vassilis Kitidis of Plymouth Marine Laboratory as part of R/V Discovery Coastal Cruises data set.

Supplemental Information
These data were acquired by NCEI from the Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center (CDIAC) in accordance with an archival submission agreement between CDIAC and NCEI.

In this accession, NCEI has archived multiple versions of these data. The latest (and best) version of these data has the largest version number.
Purpose The major objectives of the measurements is to provide a high quality measurements of sea surface fCO2, sea surface salinity and temperature in the English Channel and Celtic Sea coastal areas.
