Measurements of surface seawater fCO2 from volunteer commercial ships: Techniques and experiences from Skaugran

Chemical measurements made in the northern North Pacific from a commercial volunteer observing ship (VOS) program during March 1995-March 1998 are presented. Quasi-continuous measurements of the fugacity of CO2 (fCO2, which takes into account the nonideal nature of the gas; the values are within 0.5...

Description
Summary:Chemical measurements made in the northern North Pacific from a commercial volunteer observing ship (VOS) program during March 1995-March 1998 are presented. Quasi-continuous measurements of the fugacity of CO2 (fCO2, which takes into account the nonideal nature of the gas; the values are within 0.5-1.5 muatm of the partial pressure in surface water) in seawater were made from two independent systems with different designs, and those results are emphasized here.
