Here we provide CO2-system properties that were continuously measured in a southeast-northwest transect in the South Atlantic Ocean in which six Agulhas eddies were sampled. The Following Ocean Rings in the South Atlantic (FORSA) cruise occurred between 27th June and 15th July 2015, from Cape Town – South Africa to Arraial do Cabo – Brazil, on board the first research cruise of the Brazilian Navy RV Vital de Oliveira, as part of an effort of the Brazilian High Latitude Oceanography Group (GOAL). Finally, it contributed to the activities developed by the following Brazilian networks: GOAL, Brazilian Ocean Acidification Network (BrOA), Brazilian Research Network on Global Climate Change (Rede CLIMA).The focus of the first study using this dataset (Orselli et al. 2019a) was on investigate the role played by the Agulhas eddies on the sea-air CO2 net flux along their trajectories through the South Atlantic Ocean and model the seawater CO2–related properties as function of environmental parameters. This data has ...
