Title: Surface underway measurements of fugacity of carbon dioxide (fCO2, seawater and atmospheric), water temperature, and salinity from 5 cruises in the equatorial Pacific Ocean, collected onboard NOAA Ship Ka'imimoana in 1996 (NCEI Accession 0268114)
Abstract: This dataset contains data from underway fCO2 (seawater and atmospheric), water temperature, and salinity measurements collected on 5 equatorial Pacific cruises from 1996-06-20 to 1996-12-17 as part of a ship-of-opportunity time-series. Cruise names and EXPOCODEs: KA1996_03 (33KM19960620), KA1996_04 (33KM19960720),KA1996_05 (33KM19960827), KA1996_06 (33KM19960930), KA1996_07 (33KM19961111). Since 1982, NOAA's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory has made underway CO2 observations in the equatorial Pacific as a companion project to the Global Tropical Moored Buoy Array. This effort was conducted with the support of NOAA's Global Ocean Monitoring and Observing Program.
