| Summary: | NCEI Accession 0157307 includes Surface underway, chemical, meteorological and physical data collected from AURORA AUSTRALIS in the Indian Ocean, South Pacific Ocean, Southern Oceans (> 60 degrees South) and Tasman Sea from 2012-01-05 to 2013-01-08. 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, SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE, WIND DIRECTION and WIND SPEED. The instruments used to collect these data include Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer, Shower head chamber equilibrator for autonomous carbon dioxide (CO2) measurement and thermosalinographs. These data were collected by Bronte Tilbrook of Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization as part of the VOS_Aurora_Australis_AA_2012_005-042, VOS_Aurora_Australis_AA_2012_046-074, VOS_Aurora_Australis_AA_2012_077-104, VOS_Aurora_Australis_AA_2012_107-122, VOS_Aurora_Australis_AA_2012_261-320, VOS_Aurora_Australis_AA_2012_323-349 and VOS_Aurora_Australis_AA_2012_366-012 data set. CDIAC associated the following cruise ID(s) with this data set: 09AR20120105, 09AR20120215, 09AR20120317, 09AR20120416, 09AR20120914, 09AR20121116 and 09AR20121217 The Global Volunteer Observing Ship (VOS) Program is coordinated by the UNESCO International Ocean Carbon Coordination Project (IOCCP). International groups from 14 countries have been outfitting research ships and commercial vessels with automated CO2 sampling equipment to analyze the carbon exchange between the ocean and atmosphere.
