Partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide, salinity and other variables collected from surface underway observations during the MV Cap Vilano ships of opportunity (SOOP) cruises in the Pacific Ocean from 2013-02-01 to 2013-06-06 (NCEI Accession 0157013)

This dataset contains data from underway fCO2 (seawater and atmospheric), temperature, and salinity measurements collected on MV Cap Vilano three trans-Pacific cruises in 2013 as part of a ship-of-opportunity time-series. Cruise names and expocodes: CV2013_02 (AGB620130201), CV2013_03 (AGB620130328), CV2013_05 (AGB620130524). Since 1992, underway CO2 observations have been made between New Zealand and the U.S. West Coast. This effort was conducted with the support of NOAA's Ocean Observing and Monitoring Division in the Climate Program Office (CPO) and NOAA's Ocean Acidification Program (OAP).
