This dataset includes surface underway, chemical, meteorological and physical data collected during the R/V Plymouth Quest Western Channel Observatory cruise WCO2016 (EXPOCODE 74PQ20160106) in the English Channel, North Atlantic Ocean from 2016-01-06 to 2016-11-15. These data include partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide - atmosphere, partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide - water, sea surface salinity and sea surface temperature and barometric pressure. The instruments used to collect these data include barometric pressure sensor and carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer.
