Partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide, salinity and other variables collected from underway - surface observations using Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer, Shower head chamber equilibrator for autonomous carbon dioxide (CO2) measurement and other instruments from the Trans Future 5 in th

NODC Accession 0081048 includes chemical, meteorological, physical and underway - surface data collected from Trans Future 5 in the Bass Strait, Coral Sea, Inland Sea (Seto Naikai), North Pacific Ocean, Philippine Sea, Solomon Sea, South Pacific Ocean and Tasman Sea from 2006-06-27 to 2011-08-05 and retrieved during cruise TF5-06 - TF5-51. These data include ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY, AIR TEMPERATURE, BAROMETRIC PRESSURE, CARBON DIOXIDE - AIR, CARBON DIOXIDE - PARTIAL PRESSURE - DIFFERENCE, INCOMING SOLAR RADIATION, Partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide, SALINITY, SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE, SEDIMENT PROPERTIES and WIND SPEED. 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 Yukihiro Nojiri of National Institute for Environmental Studies as part of the VOS Trans Future 5 Line 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.
