This dataset includes surface underway chemical, meteorological and physical data collected during R/V Arni Fridriksson cruises in the Irminger Sea and North Atlantic from 2006-11-07 to 2015-10-04. These data include measurements of sea surface temperature (SST), equilibrator temperature (TEQ), equilibrator pressure (PEQ), mole fraction of carbon dioxide (xCO2) in dry air at TEQ, pCO2 at TEQ (PCO2TEQ). The instruments used to collect these data include carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer and shower head chamber equilibrator for autonomous CO2 measurement.
