browse graphicPreview graphic
This dataset includes Surface underway, chemical, meteorological and physical data collected in global oceans from 1957-10-22 to 2013-03-21. These data include BAROMETRIC PRESSURE, Partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide - water, SALINITY, SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE and WATER TEMPERATURE. The instruments used to collect these data include Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer.

These data were collected by Alex Kozyr of Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center and Taro Takahashi and Stewart Sutherland of Columbia University; Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory as part of the LDEO Database (Version 2012) data set. CDIAC associated the following cruise ID with this data set: LDEO20120101
