Measurements of oceanic carbon dioxide and halocarbons (CFCs) were collected during the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) L07N research cruise. The cruise was conducted in the Indian Ocean from July 15 to August 24, 1995, with contributions from researchers including Charles Keeling and Rana Fine. The spatial coverage spans latitudes +25N to +20N and longitudes +65E to +51E.
Use Cases
- Analyze the relationship between oceanic carbon dioxide measurements and CFC concentrations across the sampled transect.
- Map the spatial distribution of halocarbon levels within the +25N to +20N latitude and +65E to +51E longitude region.
- Study temporal trends in ocean carbon content during the July-August 1995 cruise period.
- Correlate cruise track location data with gas measurement readings to identify regional anomalies.
Strengths
- Data collected during a major international oceanographic project (World Ocean Circulation Experiment).
- Precise temporal bounds from July 15 to August 24, 1995.
- Defined spatial coverage of a specific ocean region.
Limitations
- Sample size and number of measurement stations are unknown.
- Data is from a single cruise in 1995, limiting temporal analysis.
- Specific measurement columns, units, and data formats are not provided.
Provenance
