Surface underway measurements of fugacity of carbon dioxide (fCO2, seawater and atmospheric), water temperature, and salinity from 7 cruises in the equatorial Pacific Ocean, collected onboard NOAA Ship Ka'imimoana in 1998 (NCEI Accession 0268307)

This dataset contains data from underway fCO2 (seawater and atmospheric), water temperature, and salinity measurements collected on 7 equatorial Pacific cruises from 1998-02-14 to 1998-12-02 as part of a ship-of-opportunity time-series. Cruise names and EXPOCODEs: KA1998_01 (33KM19980214), KA1998_02 (33KM19980418),KA1998_03 (33KM19980603), KA1998_04 (33KM19980707), KA1998_05 (33KM19980906), KA1998_07 (33KM19981020), KA1998_08 (33KM19981129). 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.

本数据集涵盖1998年2月14日至1998年12月2日期间，7次赤道太平洋航次采集的走航式海水与大气fCO₂、水温及盐度观测数据，属于机会船时间序列项目的一部分。各航次名称与EXPOCODE对应如下：KA1998_01（33KM19980214）、KA1998_02（33KM19980418）、KA1998_03（33KM19980603）、KA1998_04（33KM19980707）、KA1998_05（33KM19980906）、KA1998_07（33KM19981020）、KA1998_08（33KM19981129）。自1982年起，美国国家海洋和大气管理局(NOAA)太平洋海洋环境实验室(Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory)作为全球热带系泊浮标阵列(Global Tropical Moored Buoy Array)的配套项目，在赤道太平洋开展走航式CO₂观测工作。此项工作得到了NOAA全球海洋监测与观测计划(Global Ocean Monitoring and Observing Program)的支持。
