The partial pressure of CO 2 in surface seawater and in air were continuously measured during the cruise ALIZE II (January 1991–March 1991) in the equatorial Pacific from Panama to Nouméa via Tahiti. It provides a large set of data for estimating the air‐sea CO 2 flux in the equatorial Pacific. An average flux is calculated between 2.5N and 2.5S. This estimation ranges from 5 to 8.5 mmol m −2 d −1 according to the CO 2 exchange coefficient used.
