Partial pressure of carbon dioxide, temperature, salinity and other variables collected from the coastal surface underway observations from NOAA Ship Gordon Gunter in the Gulf of Mexico and North Atlantic Ocean during 2018 (NCEI Accession 0172376)

browse graphicPreview graphic
This NCEI Accession includes measurements of mole fraction of CO2 in the equilibrator headspace (dry) at equilibrator temperature, mole fraction of CO2 measured in dry outside air, barometric pressure in the equilibrator headspace, barometric pressure, corrected to sea level, water temperature in equilibrator, sea surface temperature, sea surface salinity, fugacity of CO2 in sea water at SST and 100% humidity, and difference between sea water fCO2 and interpolated air fCO2. 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 and Denis Pierrot of US DOC; NOAA; OAR; Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory as part of NOAA Ship Gordon Gunter research coastal cruises in 2018.
