This dataset contains data from underway fCO2 (seawater and atmospheric), water temperature, and salinity measurements collected on 7 equatorial Pacific cruises from 1998-02-14 to 1998-12-02 as part of a ship-of-opportunity time-series. Cruise names and EXPOCODEs: KA1998_01 (33KM19980214), KA1998_02 (33KM19980418),KA1998_03 (33KM19980603), KA1998_04 (33KM19980707), KA1998_05 (33KM19980906), KA1998_07 (33KM19981020), KA1998_08 (33KM19981129). Since 1982, NOAA's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory has made underway CO2 observations in the equatorial Pacific as a companion project to the Global Tropical Moored Buoy Array. This effort was conducted with the support of NOAA's Global Ocean Monitoring and Observing Program.
