Underway measurements of pCO2, salinity, sea surface temperature, and other parameters were collected during 3 trans-Pacific crossings in 2016 on the container ship Cap Blanche. Cruise names and expocodes: CB2016_03 (AG5W20160313), CB2016_05 (AG5W20160507), CB2016_08 (AG5W20160829). All cruises started in Long Beach California and ended in New Zealand. This effort was conducted in support of NOAA's Climate Program Office (CPO), and Ocean Acidification Program (OAP).
