This dataset includes surface underway chemical and physical data collected during the R/V Bjarni Saemundsson cruise in the Irminger Sea, Iceland Sea and North Atlantic Ocean from 2010-02-08 to 2010-02-17. These data include measurements of sea surface temperature (SST), equilibrator temperature (TEQ), equilibrator pressure (PEQ), xCO2 in dry air at TEQ, pCO2 at TEQ (PCO2TEQ). The instruments used to collect these data include carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer and shower head chamber equilibrator for autonomous CO2 measurement. These data were collected by Alice Benoit-Cattin-Breton and Solveig Rosa Olafsdottir of Marine and Freshwater Research Institute, Iceland.
