During the summer of 2008, an fCO2 system was deployed on the container ship OOCL Tianjin. PMEL collected data during 9 transects across the North Pacific from September 2008 through February 2010. The OOCL Tianjin is involved in studies in the North Pacific, an important sink region for atmospheric CO2. Data will be analyzed to determine how ocean circulation and biological photosynthesis interact to control the rate of exchange of carbon dioxide gas between the atmosphere and North Pacific Ocean. This research is done in collaboration with Dr. Paul Quay of the University of Washington, and Dr. Kitack Lee of the Pohang University of Science and Technology. In addition to supporting our underway fCO2 measurements, samples were also collected for carbon isotope measurements (Quay) and DIC and nutrients (Lee).
