Large River Dissolved Organic Carbon Export Measurements

NASA provides measurements quantifying dissolved organic carbon export from large rivers. The dataset includes earth science parameters for ocean chemistry, optics, temperature, and salinity. It is available in BIN and ISO file formats.

Use Cases

• Analyzing riverine contributions to ocean carbon budgets using dissolved organic carbon measurements.
• Modeling the relationship between ocean salinity, temperature, and dissolved organic matter transport.
• Assessing spatial and temporal trends in large river export of organic carbon to coastal systems.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative NASA organization.
• Covers multiple earth science domains including ocean chemistry and optics.

Limitations

• Key metadata such as row count, column names, and specific license terms are unavailable across all sources.
• The listed last update date of 2026-03-13 is in the future, indicating a potential metadata error.
