Marine and Freshwater Research Institute scientists Alice Benoit-Cattin-Breton and Solveig Rosa Olafsdottir collected these surface underway measurements. The dataset includes mole fraction of carbon dioxide (xCO2), partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2), and sea surface temperature from a cruise in the Irminger Sea, Iceland Sea, and North Atlantic Ocean. Data were gathered from 2010-02-08 to 2010-02-17 using a carbon dioxide gas analyzer and shower head chamber equilibrator.
Use Cases
- Modeling oceanic carbon dioxide fluxes based on pCO2 measurements
- Analyzing sea surface temperature variability in the North Atlantic based on SST data
- Studying carbon dioxide equilibration processes based on equilibrator temperature and pressure data
- Tracking surface underway carbon measurements for the Ship of Opportunity Program (SOOP)
- Calibrating autonomous CO2 measurement systems based on instrument descriptions
Strengths
- Data collected by named scientists from a specific research institute
- Specific temporal coverage from 2010-02-08 to 2010-02-17
- Clear geographic coverage of the Irminger Sea, Iceland Sea, and North Atlantic Ocean
- Description lists specific measured variables: SST, TEQ, PEQ, xCO2, PCO2TEQ
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
