Surface underway measurements of partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2), sea surface temperature, sea surface salinity and other parameters from Autonomous Surface Vehicle (ASV) Saildrone 1006 PMEL TPOS mission in the Pacific Ocean from 2018-10-03 to 2019-01-27 (NCEI Accession 0301266)

This file contains the real time data from the Saildrone core sensors for the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) TPOS 2018 Mission (Mission 2) to the central equatorial Pacific (0, 140W). These data have not been Quality Control (QC). This was the second of three missions funded by NOAA Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR)/CPO/GOMO and NOAA Office of Marine and Aviation Operations (OMAO) as a pilot study for the Tropical Pacific Observing System (TPOS)-2020 project. The drone was equipped with full atmospheric and ocean core sensor suite, and an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) (not included in this file). The vehicle was deployed out of Honolulu, HI on October 3, 2018. After sailing near a PMEL Carbon mooring in Kaneohe Bay, HI, the drone proceeded to the Tropical Atmosphere/Ocean (TAO) mooring at 9N, 140W. Navigation issues caused the mission to be aborted early (mid-December 2018), before further science tasks could be completed. Saildrone 1006 was recovered in Honolulu on 01-27-2019

本文件包含太平洋海洋环境实验室（PMEL）2018年热带太平洋观测系统（TPOS）第2任务航次（任务2）中，风帆无人航行器（Saildrone）核心传感器采集的实时观测数据，作业区域为中赤道太平洋海域（0°，140°W）。本批次数据尚未经过质量控制（QC）。本次航次为美国国家海洋和大气管理局（NOAA）海洋与大气研究办公室（OAR）/CPO/GOMO以及NOAA海洋与航空作业办公室（OMAO）资助的三项航次中的第二项，作为热带太平洋观测系统（TPOS）-2020项目的试点研究。该无人航行器搭载了完整的大气与海洋核心传感器套件，以及声学多普勒流速剖面仪（ADCP）（本文件未包含该设备的采集数据）。该航行器于2018年10月3日从夏威夷州檀香山港出发部署，在途经夏威夷州卡内奥赫湾的PMEL碳系泊观测站附近海域后，前往位于9°N，140°W的热带大气海洋（TAO）锚定观测站。因导航故障，该航次于2018年12月中旬提前终止，未能完成后续科研任务。风帆无人航行器1006于2019年1月27日在檀香山港被回收。
