These data were collected on the CCGS (Canadian Coast Guard) Louis St. Laurent during BGOS (Beaufort Gyre Observing System) research cruises in 2012-2014 and 2016-2019 in the Beaufort Sea area. They are underway pCO2 (Partial pressure of carbon dioxide) data collected using an equilibrator-infrared method (SUPER CO2 system from Sunburst Sensors). Ancillary data for calculation of air-sea CO fluxes include temperature, salinity, atmospheric CO2, wind speed, and gas transfer velocity (calculated from Wanninkhof et al. (2009). Fluxes are not corrected for fractional ice-coverage. The specific goal of the study is to continue to operate an Arctic Observing Network (AON) for the measurement of the partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2), pH, and dissolved O2 (DO) focused on the surface waters of the Arctic Ocean (specifically, the Canada Basin).
