Partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide, salinity and other variables collected from underway - surface observations using Barometric pressure sensor, Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer and other instruments from the MCARTHUR II in the Coastal Waters of SE Alaska, Cordell Bank National Mari

NODC Accession 0109934 includes chemical, meteorological, physical and underway - surface data collected from MCARTHUR II in the Coastal Waters of SE Alaska, Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary, Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary, Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, North Pacific Ocean and Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary from 2007-06-05 to 2007-07-26. These data include BAROMETRIC PRESSURE, CARBON DIOXIDE - AIR, CARBON DIOXIDE - PARTIAL PRESSURE - DIFFERENCE, Partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide, SALINITY and SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE. The instruments used to collect these data include Barometric pressure sensor, Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer, Shower head chamber equilibrator for autonomous carbon dioxide (CO2) measurement and thermosalinographs.

These data were collected by Richard A. Feely of US DOC; NOAA; OAR; Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory as part of the Coastal Underway Measurements R/V McArthur II 2007 data set. CDIAC assigned the following cruise ID(s) to this data set: M20704, M20705, M20706 and M20707.

The Global Coastal Carbon Data Project data includes the bottle (discrete) and surface (underway) carbon-related measurements from coastal research cruises, the data from time series cruises and coastal moorings. The coastal regions data are very important for the understanding of carbon cycle on the continental margins.
