Abstract
|
This dataset is part of the IMOS Underway CO2 Measurements group. This group is a research and data collection project working
within the IMOS Ship of Opportunity Multi-Disciplinary Underway Network sub-facility. The CO2 group sample critical regions
of the Southern Ocean, Australian and the New Zealand shelf waters, which have a major impact on CO2 uptake by the ocean.
These are regions where biogeochemical cycling is predicted to be particularly sensitive to a changing climate. The pCO2
Underway System measures the fugacity of carbon dioxide (fCO2) along with other variables such as sea surface salinity (SSS)
and sea surface temperature (SST) using an automated system.
The RV Tangaroa provides data on surface ocean CO2 for the oceans adjacent to New Zealand.
