Partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide, dissolved inorganic carbon, alkalinity, temperature, salinity and other variables collected from underway - surface observations using Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer, Shower head chamber equilibrator for autonomous carbon dioxide (CO2) measuremen

NODC Accession 0109928 includes chemical, meteorological, physical and underway - surface data collected from EXPLORER OF THE SEAS in the Caribbean Sea and North Atlantic Ocean from 2008-02-13 to 2008-12-11 and retrieved during cruise 33KF20080213 (EX0801), 33KF20080817 (EX0824) and 33KF20081201 (EX0839). These data include ALKALINITY, BAROMETRIC PRESSURE, CARBON DIOXIDE - AIR, CARBON DIOXIDE - PARTIAL PRESSURE - DIFFERENCE, DISSOLVED INORGANIC CARBON, Partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide, SALINITY, SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE and WATER TEMPERATURE. 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 of US DOC; NOAA; OAR; Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory as part of the VOS Explorer of the Seas Lines 2008 data set.

The Global Volunteer Observing Ship (VOS) Program is coordinated by the UNESCO International Ocean Carbon Coordination Project (IOCCP). International groups from 14 countries have been outfitting research ships and commercial vessels with automated CO2 sampling equipment to analyze the carbon exchange between the ocean and atmosphere.

国家海洋数据中心（National Oceanographic Data Center, NODC）收录编号0109928的数据集，包含2008年2月13日至2008年12月11日期间，从加勒比海与北大西洋的「海洋探索者号（EXPLORER OF THE SEAS）」采集的化学、气象、物理及走航表层数据，这些数据来源于航次33KF20080213（EX0801）、33KF20080817（EX0824）与33KF20081201（EX0839）。
该数据集涵盖的观测参数包括：碱度（ALKALINITY）、气压（BAROMETRIC PRESSURE）、大气二氧化碳（CARBON DIOXIDE - AIR）、二氧化碳分压差（CARBON DIOXIDE - PARTIAL PRESSURE - DIFFERENCE）、溶解无机碳（DISSOLVED INORGANIC CARBON）、二氧化碳分压（或逸度）（Partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide）、盐度（SALINITY）、海表温度（SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE）与水温（WATER TEMPERATURE）。
采集此类数据所用的仪器包括二氧化碳（CO₂）气体分析仪，以及用于自主二氧化碳测量的淋浴头室平衡器（Shower head chamber equilibrator）。
该数据集由美国商务部（US DOC）、美国国家海洋和大气管理局（NOAA）、海洋与大气研究局（Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research, OAR）以及大西洋海洋气象实验室（Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory）的里克·万宁克霍夫（Rik Wanninkhof）采集，作为2008年VOS海洋探索者号航线数据集的一部分。
全球志愿观测船（Volunteer Observing Ship, VOS）计划由联合国教科文组织国际海洋碳协调项目（International Ocean Carbon Coordination Project, IOCCP）统筹协调。来自14个国家的国际团队已为科研船舶与商业船只配备自动化二氧化碳采样设备，用于分析海洋与大气间的碳交换过程。
