Partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide, salinity and other variables collected from underway - surface observations using Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer, Shower head chamber equilibrator for autonomous carbon dioxide (CO2) measurement and other instruments from the EXPLORER OF THE SEAS

NODC Accession 0108230 includes chemical, meteorological, physical and underway - surface data collected from EXPLORER OF THE SEAS in the Bay of Fundy, Caribbean Sea, North Atlantic Ocean and Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary from 2010-01-14 to 2011-01-02 and retrieved during cruise 33KF20100114 (EX1001) - 33KF20101219 (EX1043). 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 Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer and Shower head chamber equilibrator for autonomous carbon dioxide (CO2) measurement. These data were collected by Rik Wanninkhof of US DOC; NOAA; OAR; Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory as part of the VOS Explorer of the Seas Lines 2010 data set.

The Global Volunteer Observing Ship (VOS) Program is coordinated by the UNESCO International Ocean Carbon Coordination Project (IOCCP). International groups from 14 countries have been outfitting research ships and commercial vessels with automated CO2 sampling equipment to analyze the carbon exchange between the ocean and atmosphere.

美国国家海洋数据中心（National Oceanographic Data Center, NODC）收录号0108230包含2010年1月14日至2011年1月2日期间，由"探索者号（EXPLORER OF THE SEAS）"在芬迪湾、加勒比海、北大西洋以及斯特尔瓦根班克国家海洋保护区采集的化学、气象、物理及走航表层数据，该批数据随航次33KF20100114（EX1001）至33KF20101219（EX1043）获取。
该数据集涵盖气压、大气二氧化碳浓度、二氧化碳分压差值、二氧化碳分压（或逸度）、盐度以及海表温度。采集上述数据所用的仪器包括二氧化碳（CO₂）气体分析仪，以及用于自主二氧化碳（CO₂）测量的淋浴头式平衡室。该批数据由美国商务部（US DOC）、美国国家海洋和大气管理局（NOAA）、海洋与大气研究办公室（OAR）下属大西洋海洋气象实验室的里克·万宁克霍夫（Rik Wanninkhof）作为"2010年VOS探索者号航线"数据集的一部分完成采集。
全球志愿观测船（VOS）计划由联合国教科文组织国际海洋碳协调项目（IOCCP）统筹协调。来自14个国家的国际团队已为科研船舶及商业船舶配备自动化二氧化碳采样设备，用于分析海洋与大气之间的碳交换过程。
