This dataset includes surface underway, chemical, meteorological and physical data collected from R/V Sarmiento De Gamboa BOCATS and FICARAM_16 Cruises (EXPOCODEs: 29AH20160618, 29AH20161105) in the Atlantic Ocean between 2016-06-18 and 2016-12-01. These data include measurements of mole fraction of CO2 in ambient atmosphere in dry air, atmospheric pressure, sea surface temperature and sea surface salinity. These data were collected by Xose Antonio Padín of Instituto de Investigaciones Marinas - CSIC, Spain
