NCEI Accession 0225431 contains sea surface underway measurements of partial pressure of carbon dioxide, temperature, salinity, and barometric pressure. Data was collected by investigators from Argentina's Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Desarrollo Pesquero (INIDEP) during the M/V Víctor Angelescu cruises. Measurements cover a specific period from August 10 to August 31, 2018.
Use Cases
- Analyze the relationship between partial pressure of carbon dioxide and sea surface temperature across the cruise track.
- Model air-sea CO2 flux using partial pressure of carbon dioxide and concurrent barometric pressure measurements.
- Investigate correlations between salinity and partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the South Atlantic surface waters.
- Validate satellite-derived sea surface CO2 estimates with in-situ partial pressure of carbon dioxide measurements from a specific time period.
Strengths
- Data covers a specific, defined time range from 2018-08-10 to 2018-08-31.
- Includes multiple concurrent physical and chemical variables (pCO2, temperature, salinity, pressure).
- Collected by a national research institute (INIDEP) during dedicated research cruises.
Limitations
- Dataset is limited to a single month (August 2018) and may not represent seasonal variability.
- Spatial coverage is restricted to the specific cruise track of the M/V Víctor Angelescu in the South Atlantic.
- The sample size (number of rows/observations) is unknown from the provided information.
