Abstract	This is processed PCO2 data from the International Indian Ocean Expedition 2 (IIOE2) cruise on SA Agulhas II Voyage 028 in October 2017. The IIOE2 is a collaborative regional cruise to build capacity and strength within Africa. The focus will be on developing students in the region in the areas of physical oceanography, chemistry, biological oceanography, benthic biodiversity, marine top predators and marine plastics.
Methods	The data was collected in surface waters using a General Oceanics underway pCO2 measuring system coupled with a LICOR CO2 detector. The data was merged with SDS data to get missing longitude and latitude and wind data. The measured xCO2 was corrected for temperature and instrument’s drifts using CO2 reference gases certified to NOAA standard (Pierrot et al. (2009)). The data was cleaned to remove obvious outliers. Further data cleaning to the satisfaction of the user is recommended.
