Partial pressure of carbon dioxide, water temperature, salinity and other variables collected from surface underway observations from R/V Cape Hatteras AOML_SOOP_CO2, CapeHatteras-2006, UGA Coastal Cruise (EXPOCODE 32KZ20060517) in the Atlantic Ocean from 2006-05-17 to 2006-05-27 (NCEI Accession 0242068)

This dataset includes surface underway, chemical, meteorological and physical data collected from R/V Cape Hatteras AOML_SOOP_CO2, CapeHatteras-2006, UGA Coastal Cruise (EXPOCODE 32KZ20060517) in the Atlantic Ocean from 2006-05-17 to 2006-05-27. These data include air-sea difference of partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2), pCO2 in atmosphere, pCO2 in water, barometric pressure, sea surface salinity and water temperature. The instruments used to collect these data include barometric pressure sensor, Equilibrator-IR or CRDS or GC for autonomous carbon dioxide measurement and thermosalinographs. 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.
