VOS M/S Pyxis of Toyofuji Shipping Co., Japan, which is a car carrier from Japan to the U.S. The ship has two major 
sailing routes: one from Toyohashi, Japan to Portland, Oakland, and Long Beach, and the other to U.S. East Coast 
ports via the Panama Canal. More areas at mid- and low-latitudes in the North Pacific are now covered than with the 
previous two VOSs. The 20-40oN latitude band in the Pacific is a large CO2 sink area; however, the east/west difference 
is very significant. Observations from Pyxis will give useful coverage in this important area of the Pacific.
