High-resolution time series of surface seawater CO2 content from the OceansAlaska Shellfish Hatchery in Ketchikan, Alaska, USA

This dataset includes measurements of partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2), sea surface salinity, sea surface temperature and other parameters from the OceansAlaska Shellfish Hatchery in Ketchikan, Alaska since 2016-08-29. The OceansAlaska Shellfish Hatchery in Ketchikan, is a floating barge that has been a site for high-resolution measurement of surface seawater CO2 content since August 2016. Measurements of in situ temperature, salinity, and CO2 partial pressure are made near-continuously from a seawater sample line with an intake depth of 4.3 m. The effort to collect these data is a collaboration between OceansAlaska, the UAF Ocean Acidification Research Center, Oregon State University, and the Hakai Institute with support from the Alaska Ocean Observing System and the Tula Foundation.
