Microplastics, sea surface salinity, partial pressure of water carbon dioxide, temperature, and other data collected from platform VO65 / team AkzoNobel as part of the Ocean Race Tour in North Atlantic Ocean, Baltic Sea, and others from 2019-05-26 to 2019-09-25 (NCEI Accession 0225418)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: May 06, 2026 at 02:43 AM | Dataset Last Updated: April 27, 2021 at 12:00 AM
This dataset contains the in situ oceanographic observations collected from using the 5th generation OceanPack by SubCtech to measure fCO2(pCO2,xCO2), sea surface salinity, chlorophyll a, and sea surface temperature. Besides, frequent samples were analyzed for microplastic concentration per cubic meter. The sampled water was pumped from the VO65 hulls scoop inlet at an average depth of 1.5 m for continuous measurements. Zero-calibrations were set to every 24 hours and autonomous span CO2 gas calibration was performed in every harbor after each leg. The observations in Europe were conducted from May to September 2019. The analysis for microplastic particle concentration was conducted according to Tanhua & Gutekunst et al. 2020, PLOS ONE (https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0243203, NCEI Accession 0170967).
