Carbon dioxide partial pressure (pCO2) and total dissolved inorganic carbon (TCO2) measurements were made on seawater collected from 12 depths at select stations occupied during the 2016 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration West Coast Ocean Acidification survey (NOAA WCOA2016) from California to British Columbia. NOAA cruise data collected during this survey are available from the National Centers for Environmental Information (https://www.nodc.noaa.gov/ocads/oceans/Coastal/WCOA.html). Hakai Institute staff (Evans) collected data only during the second leg of the survey from May 24 to June 7. Information describing the cruise plan and cruise blog can be found on the NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) website (https://www.pmel.noaa.gov/co2/story/2016+West+Coast+Ocean+Acidification+Cruise). Seawater sampling during this cruise was conducted using a conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) profiler coupled with a 24-Niskin (11-L) bottle rosette. Seawater collection was concentrated in ...
