Partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide, pH on total scale, temperature, salinity and other variables collected from surface underway observations during the container ship Cap Blanche cruises in the Pacific Ocean from 2014-02-01 to 2014-11-26 (NCEI Accession 0156923)

This dataset consists of surface underway measurements of Partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide (pCO2) in water and atmosphere, ISFET-based pH (total scale), temperature, salinity and barometric pressure collected on 6 trans-Pacific cruises in 2014 as part of a ship-of-opportunity (SOOP) time-series. Cruise names and EXPOCODEs: CB2014_02 (AG5W20140201), CB2014_03 (AG5W20140327), CB2014_05 (AG5W20140523), CB2014_07 (AG5W20140718), CB2014_09 (AG5W20140912), CB2014_11 (AG5W20141113). Since 1992, underway CO2 observations have been made between New Zealand and the U.S. West Coast. In 2010, ISFET-based pH measurements (total scale) were added to this equatorial Pacific SOOP-based time-series. All pH data, when available, are reported on the total scale and at SST. This effort was conducted with the support of NOAA's Ocean Observing and Monitoring Division in the Climate Program Office (CPO) and NOAA's Ocean Acidification Program (OAP).
