This dataset includes surface underway, chemical, meteorological and physical data collected during the GEOMAR Drifting Surface Buoy 1 deployment in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2022-02-26 to 2022-05-22. These data include partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide - atmosphere, partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide - water, sea surface salinity, sea surface temperature and barometric pressure. A surface buoy equipped with a VeGas CO2 system, a SBE37-ODO and a Weatherstation was moored on a seamount north west of the Cape Verdean Island Santo Antao. The intent of this deployment was to have a 3 month on site test deployment in preparation for a possible longer deployment north of Sao Vicente at the CVOO site. After 3 weeks the mooring wire broke sending the buoy on a drifting journey towards the Brazilian coast, where it was recovered by the RV Meteor after ~ 3 months. ...
