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 2003 (NCEI Accession 0269172)

This dataset contains data from underway fCO2 (seawater and atmospheric), water temperature, and salinity measurements collected on 5 equatorial Pacific cruises from 2003-01-09 to 2003-12-13 as part of a ship-of-opportunity time-series. Cruise names and EXPOCODEs: KA2003_01 (33KM20030109), KA2003_02 (33KM20030329),KA2003_05 (33KM20030822), KA2003_07 (33KM20031017), KA2003_08 (33KM20031118). 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.
