Six years of sea surface pCO2 data from the Atlantic and Polar Oceans collected by research vessel Polarstern
Since late 2007, the ice-breaking research vessel FS Polarstern of the Alfred Wegener Institute has been used as a voluntary observing ship (VOS) to collect measurements of the partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) in the Atlantic Ocean and both polar regions. Oceanic and atmospheric pCO2 data are continuo...
