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 2002 (NCEI Accession 0269003)

This dataset contains data from underway fCO2 (seawater and atmospheric), water temperature, and salinity measurements collected on 5 equatorial Pacific cruises from 2002-03-06 to 2002-10-26 as part of a ship-of-opportunity time-series. Cruise names and EXPOCODEs: KA2002_01 (33KM20020306), KA2002_02 (33KM20020409),KA2002_03 (33KM20020530), KA2002_05 (33KM20020824), KA2002_07 (33KM20021004). 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.

本数据集包含2002年3月6日至2002年10月26日期间5次赤道太平洋航次采集的走航式海水与大气二氧化碳分压（fCO2）、海水温度及盐度实测数据，属于机会船时间序列研究项目的组成部分。各航次名称及EXPOCODE分别为：KA2002_01（33KM20020306）、KA2002_02（33KM20020409）、KA2002_03（33KM20020530）、KA2002_05（33KM20020824）、KA2002_07（33KM20021004）。自1982年起，美国国家海洋和大气管理局（National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA）下属的太平洋海洋环境实验室（Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory）便在赤道太平洋开展走航式二氧化碳观测工作，作为全球热带系泊浮标阵列（Global Tropical Moored Buoy Array）的配套项目。此项工作得到了美国国家海洋和大气管理局全球海洋监测与观测计划（Global Ocean Monitoring and Observing Program）的支持。
