Description
Summary:This dataset contains a high-quality dataset of derived products from over a million observations of surface water partial pressure/fugacity of carbon dioxide (pCO2w/fCO2w), for the Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico and North-East Atlantic Ocean covering the timespan from 2003-03-01 to 2019-12-30. Prior to installation of automated pCO2 systems on cruise ships of the Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines and subsidiaries (Explorer of the Seas, Celebrity Equinox, Allure of the Seas), very limited surface water carbon data were available in this region. With this observational program, the Northern Caribbean Sea has now become one of the best sampled regions for pCO2 of the world's ocean. The derived quantities include total alkalinity (TA), acidity (pH), aragonite saturation state (ΩAr) and air-sea CO2 flux. ...
