From January 20 to February 29, 2020, surface underway data was collected during the RRS James Cook UK GO-SHIP cruise JC191 in the North Atlantic Ocean. The data includes partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the water, sea surface salinity, sea surface temperature, and barometric pressure. These measurements were gathered by NOAA NCEI using instruments such as a CO2 gas analyzer and temperature, salinity, and pressure sensors.
Use Cases
- Modeling ocean carbon uptake based on partial pressure of carbon dioxide measurements.
- Analyzing sea surface temperature and salinity relationships in the North Atlantic.
- Studying atmospheric-ocean interactions using concurrent barometric pressure and sea surface data.
- Calibrating satellite-derived sea surface parameter estimates with in-situ sensor data.
Strengths
- Data covers a specific, well-documented research cruise (JC191) with a known EXPOCODE (740H20200119).
- Includes four concurrent physical and chemical oceanographic parameters: pCO2, salinity, temperature, and pressure.
- Temporal coverage is precisely defined from 2020-01-20 to 2020-02-29.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Last updated 2020-02-29 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
