Partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide, salinity and other variables collected from Surface underway observations using Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer, Shower head chamber equilibrator for autonomous carbon dioxide (CO2) measurement and other instruments from NOAA Ship GORDON GUNTER in

NCEI Accession 0157279 includes Surface underway, chemical, meteorological and physical data collected from NOAA Ship GORDON GUNTER in the Caribbean Sea, Coastal Waters of Florida, Coastal Waters of Louisiana, Coastal Waters of Mississippi, Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, Gulf of Mexico and North Atlantic Ocean from 2011-03-24 to 2011-11-12. These data include AIR-SEA DIFFERENCE - PARTIAL PRESSURE (OR FUGACITY) OF CARBON DIOXIDE, BAROMETRIC PRESSURE, Partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide - atmosphere, Partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide - water, 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 Rik Wanninkhof, Denis Pierrot and Kevin Sullivan of US DOC; NOAA; OAR; Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory as part of the Gordon_Gunter_Coastal_Cruises_UW_33GG20110324, Gordon_Gunter_Coastal_Cruises_UW_33GG20110414, Gordon_Gunter_Coastal_Cruises_UW_33GG20110617, Gordon_Gunter_Coastal_Cruises_UW_33GG20110712, Gordon_Gunter_Coastal_Cruises_UW_33GG20110822, Gordon_Gunter_Coastal_Cruises_UW_33GG20110913, Gordon_Gunter_Coastal_Cruises_UW_33GG20111007 and Gordon_Gunter_Coastal_Cruises_UW_33GG20111102 data set. CDIAC associated the following cruise ID(s) with this data set: 33GG20110324, 33GG20110414, 33GG20110617, 33GG20110712, 33GG20110822, 33GG20110913, 33GG20111007 and 33GG20111102

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.
