Ship-Based Sea Surface Dissolved CO2 (pCO2), 2009 ArcticNet, Beaufort Sea

During the ArcticNet annual cruises of the research icebreaker CCGS Amundsen, characteristics of the surface sea water (temperature, salinity, dissolved CO2 and O2) are monitored in conjunction with properties of the near-surface atmosphere (basic meteorological elements, incident radiation, CO2 concentration) to observe the relationship between the surface microclimate and the air-sea exchange, with particular interest in CO2. Central to this integrated dataset is an under-way sea water pCO2 system (General Oceanics 8050) attached to the ship's clean water intake. The following variables were measured continuously and logged at 1 minute intervals:


-pCO2sw (LI7000 gas analyzer)

-Equilibrator water temperature

-conductivity

-pH

-dissolved O2

Purpose

The purpose of this dataset was to examine the dynamics of sea-surface dissolved CO2, and the air-sea CO2 exchange within the ArcticNet domain, in the context of varying surface (e.g. sea ice, sea water states and location) and atmospheric (meteorology, micro-climate) forcing. This dataset provides context for the various atmospheric, oceanographic, chemical and biological processes which were examined by the various investigators involved in the ArcticNet study.
