Partial pressure of carbon dioxide, salinity, temperature and other variables collected from surface underway observations using carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer, shower head chamber equilibrator for autonomous CO2 measurement and other instruments from R/V Ryofu Maru III in the Pacific Ocean and East China Sea from 2016-01-07 to 2016-12-21 (NCEI Accession 0173839)

This dataset includes Surface underway data collected from R/V Ryofu Maru III in the Pacific Ocean and East China Sea from 2016-01-07 to 2016-12-21. These data include barometric pressure, partial pressure of carbon dioxide - atmosphere, partial pressure of carbon dioxide - water, sea surface salinity and sea surface temperature. The instruments used to collect these data include carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer, shower head chamber equilibrator for autonomous carbon dioxide (CO2) measurement. These data were collected by Keizo Sakurai of Japan Meteorological Agency; Climate and Maritime Meteorology Department as part of the SOOP R/V Ryofu Maru III 2016 dataset.
