Partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide, dissolved inorganic carbon, pH, alkalinity, temperature, salinity and other variables collected from Surface underway, discrete sample and profile observations using Alkalinity titrator, CTD and other instruments from PELICAN in the Coastal Waters of Louisiana, Coastal Waters of Texas and Gulf of Mexico from 2013-09-09 to 2013-09-22 (NCEI Accession 0157461)

This dataset includes Surface underway, chemical, discrete sample, meteorological, physical and profile data collected from PELICAN in the Coastal Waters of Louisiana, Coastal Waters of Texas and Gulf of Mexico from 2013-09-09 to 2013-09-22. These data include BAROMETRIC PRESSURE, CONDUCTIVITY, DISSOLVED INORGANIC CARBON (DIC), Partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide - atmosphere, Partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide - water, SALINITY, TOTAL ALKALINITY (TA), WATER TEMPERATURE and pH. The instruments used to collect these data include Alkalinity titrator, CTD, Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer, Non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) analyzer, Shower head chamber equilibrator for autonomous carbon dioxide (CO2) measurement, bottle and pH sensors.

These data were collected by Antonio Mannino of US NASA; Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) and Christopher W. Hunt and Joseph E. Salisbury of University of New Hampshire (UNH) as part of the Coastal_GOMEX2013_BOT and Coastal_GOMEX2013_UW dataset. CDIAC associated the following cruise ID(s) with this dataset: 32PE20130909 and GOMEX2013

The Global Coastal Carbon Data Project data includes the bottle (discrete) and surface (underway) carbon-related measurements from coastal research cruises, the data from time series cruises and coastal moorings. The coastal regions data are very important for the understanding of carbon cycle on the continental margins.
