Partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide, eater temperature, salinity and other variables collected from surface underway observations during NOAA Ship Henry B. Bigelow cruises in the North Atlantic Ocean, US East Coast from 2011-03-01 to 2012-08-24 (NCEI Accession 0157459)

This NCEI Accession includes surface underway, chemical, meteorological and physical data collected during NOAA Ship Henry B. Bigelow cruises in the North Atlantic Ocean, US East Coast from 2011-03-01 to 2012-08-24. These data include partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide - atmosphere, partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide - water, barometric pressure, sea surface salinity and sea surface temperature. 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 Jon Hare and Chris Taylor of US DOC; NOAA; NMFS; Northeast Fisheries Science Center and Rik Wanninkhof and Kevin Sullivan of US DOC; NOAA; OAR; Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory as part of the Bigelow_ECoast_2011_2012 data set. 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.
