Partial pressure of carbon dioxide, sea surface salinity, temperature and barometric press

Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Ocean surface underway data collected by the racing sailing vessel Seaexplorer (Malizia II) between July 2020 and January 2021. The data include partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the water, sea surface salinity, sea surface temperature, and barometric pressure. The National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) provides this accession.

Use Cases

• Modeling ocean carbon dioxide uptake based on partial pressure of carbon dioxide measurements.
• Analyzing sea surface temperature and salinity correlations across ocean basins.
• Studying air-sea gas exchange dynamics using barometric pressure and sea surface carbon dioxide data.
• Validating satellite-derived ocean surface parameter estimates with in-situ underway observations.

Strengths

• Data covers three major ocean basins: Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific.
• Measurements span a six-month period from July 2020 to January 2021.
• Specific instruments used are listed, including a CO2 gas analyzer and equilibrator.

Limitations

• Row count, file formats, and column-level documentation are unknown.
• Last updated 2021-01-05 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Data may reflect geographic and temporal bias inherent to the specific vessel track.
