Carbon dioxide was measured quasi-continuously in the atmosphere and in surface seawater on 5 PMEL expeditions over the years 1986 to 1989 in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The results of those observations are presented here, along with the calculations for converting from the measured CO₂ mole fraction in dry air to the in situ fugacities in units of microatmospheres. The data are given in an accompanying diskette in ASCII format.
