Partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide, salinity and other variables collected from Surface underway observations using Barometric pressure sensor, Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer and other instruments from EXPLORER OF THE SEAS in the Caribbean Sea, Coastal Waters of Florida and North Atlantic Ocean from 2012-01-27 to 2012-11-24 (NCEI Accession 0108232)

This dataset includes Surface underway, chemical, meteorological and physical data collected from EXPLORER OF THE SEAS in the Caribbean Sea, Coastal Waters of Florida and North Atlantic Ocean from 2012-01-27 to 2012-11-24. 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 Barometric pressure sensor, Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer, Shower head chamber equilibrator for autonomous carbon dioxide (CO2) measurement and thermosalinographs.

These data were collected by Rik Wanninkhof of NOAA Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) as part of the VOS Explorer of the Seas Lines 2012, VOS_Explorer_of_the_Seas_EX1237 and VOS_Explorer_of_the_Seas_EX1241 dataset. CDIAC associated the following cruise ID(s) with this dataset: 33KF20120127 (EX1203) - 33KF20121104 (EX1240), 33KF20121014 and 33KF20121115

本数据集涵盖2012年1月27日至2012年11月24日期间，于加勒比海、佛罗里达近岸海域及北大西洋海域，由“海洋探索者号（EXPLORER OF THE SEAS）”采集的水面走航观测、化学、气象及物理数据。所包含的观测指标包括：空气-海水二氧化碳分压（或逸度）差值、气压、大气二氧化碳分压（或逸度）、海水二氧化碳分压（或逸度）、盐度（SALINITY）以及海表温度（SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE）。本次数据采集所用的仪器包括：气压传感器、二氧化碳（CO₂）气体分析仪、用于自主二氧化碳测量的淋浴头式平衡舱，以及温盐仪（thermosalinographs）。
本数据集由美国国家海洋和大气管理局（National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA）大西洋海洋与气象实验室（Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory, AOML）的里克·万宁克霍夫（Rik Wanninkhof），作为2012年志愿观测船（Voluntary Observing Ship, VOS）“海洋探索者号”航线、VOS_Explorer_of_the_Seas_EX1237及VOS_Explorer_of_the_Seas_EX1241数据集的组成部分完成采集。美国碳数据中心（Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center, CDIAC）为本数据集关联了如下航次标识：33KF20120127（EX1203）至33KF20121104（EX1240）、33KF20121014以及33KF20121115。
