This dataset includes surface underway, chemical, meteorological and physical data collected during the R/V Discovery UK-Natural Environment Research Council (UK-NERC) Shelf Seas Biogeochemistry cruise DY103 (EXPOCODE 74EQ20190625) in the English Channel, Celtic Sea and North Atlantic Ocean from 2019-06-25 to 2019-07-09. 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.
