Surface underway and time series coastal data from three vessels in the Bay of Fundy during late 2017. NOAA NCEI collected measurements of air temperature, barometric pressure, and partial pressure of carbon dioxide in both atmosphere and water. Instruments included a carbon dioxide gas analyzer and a shower head chamber equilibrator.
Use Cases
- Modeling air-sea carbon dioxide flux based on partial pressure measurements
- Analyzing seasonal changes in coastal ocean chemistry from time series data
- Correlating sea surface temperature and salinity with carbon dioxide levels
- Studying spatial variability of marine physical properties in the Bay of Fundy
Strengths
- Data includes concurrent atmospheric and aquatic pCO2 measurements, enabling flux calculations
- Observations were collected from three distinct vessel platforms, suggesting spatial coverage
- Time series coastal data provides a temporal dimension for analysis
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
