Underway fCO2 measurements collected February 2018 onboard the RTM Wakmatha on the Great Barrier Reef, Australia.

The Future Reef 2.0 project monitors ocean chemistry along the entire length of the Great Barrier Reef using the Rio Tinto ship, RTM Wakmatha. The research is targeted at providing information on the CO2 uptake, controls on ocean acidification change in the region, and providing data on reef health. It is providing foundation data needed to assess the vulnerability of the Great Barrier Reef to ocean acidification. This project is a partnership between Rio Tinto, the Great Barrier Reef Foundation and CSIRO. \nThis dataset contains quality controlled underway measurements of the fugacity of CO2, atmospheric pressure, and sea surface temperature and salinity. The data management and distribution of these data were supported by the CSIRO Carbon Collaboration Cluster and the Australian Coastal Ecosystem Facility.
