This dataset consists of surface underway measurements collected during the R/V Algoa Southern Benguela (IEP:SB) cruise (EXPOCODE 91AL20230215) in the coastal waters of South Africa, South Atlantic Ocean from 2023-02-15 to 2023-02-23. The sea-surface partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) was measured in the Southern Benguela off the west coast of South Africa as part of the August 2022 Integrated Ecosystem Programme: Southern Benguela (IEP:SB). The IEP is a multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional platform to undertake research and monitoring in the Southern Benguela. The measurements were taken onboard the RV Algoa VOYAGE 289. The core goal is to monitor seasonal and long term changes in air-sea flux of CO2 and ocean acidification.
