Surface underway data collected from the MARION DUFRESNE research vessel in the Indian Ocean from 2008-01-05 to 2008-02-05. The dataset includes measurements of barometric pressure, fluorescence, partial pressure of carbon dioxide in air and water, salinity, and sea surface temperature. These data were collected by Nicolas Metzl of Universite Pierre et Marie Curie as part of the OISO-16 dataset.
Use Cases
- Modeling ocean carbon uptake based on partial pressure of carbon dioxide measurements.
- Analyzing sea surface temperature and salinity correlations in the Indian Ocean.
- Studying air-sea gas exchange dynamics using concurrent atmospheric and aquatic CO2 fugacity data.
- Calibrating satellite-derived oceanographic parameters with in-situ fluorescence and temperature data.
Strengths
- Data covers a specific one-month cruise (2008-01-05 to 2008-02-05) with a clear geographic scope in the Indian Ocean.
- Includes multiple concurrent physical and chemical variables (e.g., CO2 fugacity in both air and water, salinity, temperature).
- Collected by a named principal investigator and institution (Nicolas Metzl, Universite Pierre et Marie Curie).
Limitations
- Last updated 2008-02-05 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
