This NCEI archival package contains surface underway measurements of fCO2 (seawater and atmospheric), water temperature, and salinity collected during the container ship Columbus Waikato thirteen trans-Pacific cruises and eight Tasman Sea cruises from 2004-03-03 to 2006-01-15 as part of a ship-of-opportunity SOOP time-series. Trans-Pacific cruise names and expocodes: CW2004_02 (64CW20040303), CW2004_04 (64CW20040424), CW2004_06 (64CW20040611), CW2004_09 (64CW20040921), CW2004_11 (64CW20041113), CW2005_01 (64CW20050124), CW2005_02 (64CW20050216), CW2005_04 (64CW20050406), CW2005_07 (64CW20050702), CW2005_08 (64CW20050817), CW2005_09 (64CW20050902), CW2005_11 (64CW20051101), CW2006_01 (64CW20060103). Tasman Sea cruise names and expocodes: CW2004_11_anz (64CW20041126), CW2005_01_anz (64CW20050112), CW2005_03_anz (64CW20050301), CW2005_04_anz (64CW20050419), CW2005_07_anz (64CW20050716), CW2005_09_anz (64CW20050923), CW2005_10_anz (64CW20051010), CW2005_11_anz (64CW20051125). Since 1992, underway CO2 observations have been made between New Zealand and the U.S. West Coast. This effort was conducted with the support of NOAA's Ocean Observing and Monitoring Division in the Climate Program Office (CPO).
