2019-01-24 to 2019-11-22 sea surface underway measurements of partial pressure of carbon dioxide, temperature, salinity, and barometric pressure. Data was collected during M/V VÃctor Angelescu cruises in the South Atlantic Ocean. The measurements were performed by investigators from the Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Desarrollo Pesquero (INIDEP) in Argentina.
Use Cases
- Analyze temporal trends in sea surface partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2) to study carbon uptake variability.
- Correlate salinity and temperature measurements with pCO2 to understand controlling physical factors.
- Use barometric pressure data to correct pCO2 measurements and improve air-sea flux calculations.
- Map the spatial distribution of collected variables across the South Atlantic Ocean cruise tracks.
Strengths
- Time-series data spans a 10-month period from January to November 2019.
- Includes multiple concurrent physical and chemical variables (pCO2, temperature, salinity, pressure).
- Data is sourced from a recognized national research institute (INIDEP) and archived at NOAA NCEI.
Limitations
- Unknown sample size and spatial resolution of the underway measurements.
- Limited to a single year (2019) and specific vessel tracks, reducing generalizability.
- Data quality and measurement precision for each instrument are not specified.
