A picture of the Ronald H. Brown at sea showing the Doppler radar.About the Ronald H. Brown
The Ronald H. Brown is the newest ship in the NOAA research fleet and one of the most advanced research vessels in the world. With 5 laboratories providing nearly 4000 square feet of space and room on deck for 9 laboratory vans, the ship can accommodate the needs of the largest scientific projects. Its full suite of scientific sensors even includes a Doppler radar, one of the few shipboard systems in the world. The ship's 2 azimuthing stern thrusters and water jet bow thruster give it outstanding maneuvering and station-keeping abilities. These state-of-the-art features make the Ronald H. Brown an ideal platform for a host of multidisciplinary environmental research projects. For more information on the Ronald H. Brown, follow the link to its home page.

About this Web Site
This web site provides access to all underway pCO2 data collected on the cruises of the Ronald H. Brown since it was commissioned in July 1997. Links at the left side of this page connect to the data sets, which are organized by year. The master map link contains a world map with cruise tracks color coded by year. The cruise table link accesses a list of all the cruises of the Ronald H. Brown with each cruise name linking to the home page for that cruise. Other links provide information about our underway pCO2 system and acknowledge the many people who have helped us collect data. Finally, there are links to the home page for our group, for this lab, and to the PMEL Carbon group with whom we collaborate.
