North American West Coast uwpCO2

In support of PMEL's Coastal Carbon Dynamics and Ocean Acidification research programs, we have outfitted NOAA ships and container ships with underway pCO₂ systems to document the distributions and air-sea flux of CO₂ along the North American West Coast from Alaska to Central America.  In recent years, we have expanded our suite of measurements to include pH and O₂ saturation on selected ships.

NOAA Ships measuring underway pCO₂ since 2006:

NOAA Ship McArthur II (2006 - 2008)	NOAA Ship Miller Freeman (2009 - 2010)	NOAA Ship David Starr Jordan (2006 - 2008)
NOAA Ship Bell Shimada (2011 - present)	NOAA Ship Oscar Dyson (2014 - present)
