High-resolution ocean and atmosphere pCO2 time-series measurements from Mooring First_Landing_76W_37N in the Chesapeake Bay from 2018-04-05 to 2020-09-26 (NCEI Accession 0243429)

This dataset includes chemical, meteorological, physical and time series data collected from Mooring First_Landing_76W_37N in the Chesapeake Bay from 2018-04-05 to 2020-09-26. These data include air-sea difference - partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2), barometric pressure, oxygen, pCO2 - atmosphere, pCO2 - water, salinity, sea surface temperature, oxygen, pH on total scale, total chlorophyll, nephelometric turbidity unit and salinity-compensated dissolved oxygen. The instruments used to collect these data include Bubble type equilibrator for autonomous carbon dioxide (CO2) measurement, Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer, Humidity Sensor, oxygen meter and thermosalinographs. The Chesapeake Bay First Landing buoy was established in April 2018 in collaboration with NOAA Ocean Acidification Program (OAP), NOAA PMEL, U.S. IOOS Mid-Atlantic Regional Association Coastal Ocean Observing System (MARACOOS), and the University of Delaware (UDel) is to produce high quality data and models to monitor the Chesapeake Bay. The new buoy is located beside the First Landing Chesapeake Bay Interpretive Buoy System (CBIBS) site to maximize collaborations with existing research and observational efforts, leverage equipment assets, and integrate with ongoing ship-based surveys and outreach activities.
