The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

| Title: |
A 17-year dataset of surface water fugacity of CO2, along with calculated pH, Aragonite saturation state, and air-sea CO2 fluxes in the Caribbean Sea (NCEI Accession 0207749) |
| Abstract: |
This archival package contains a high-quality dataset of derived products from over a million observations of surface water partial pressure/fugacity of CO2 (pCO2w/fCO2w), for the Caribbean Sea covering the timespan from 2002 through 2018. Prior to installation of automated pCO2 systems on cruise ships of the Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines and subsidiaries, very limited surface water carbon data were available in this region. With this observational program, the Northern Caribbean Sea has now become one of the best sampled regions for pCO2 of the world's ocean. The derived quantities include total alkalinity (TA), acidity (pH), Aragonite saturation state (ΩAr) and air-sea CO2 flux. |
