The Great Australian Bight, Indian Ocean, South Pacific Ocean, and Tasman Sea are covered by surface underway chemical and meteorological data collected from the RV Investigator between January 8 and February 26, 2016. These data include air-sea differences in carbon dioxide partial pressure, barometric pressure, sea surface temperature, salinity, and wind measurements. The data were collected by researchers from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization as part of the SOCCOM_096U20160108_UW dataset.
Use Cases
- Modeling ocean carbon uptake based on air-sea difference in carbon dioxide partial pressure.
- Analyzing relationships between sea surface temperature, salinity, and carbon dioxide levels.
- Studying regional marine meteorology patterns based on wind speed, wind direction, and barometric pressure measurements.
Strengths
- Data covers a specific voyage from 2016-01-08 to 2016-02-26.
- Includes multiple variable types: chemical, meteorological, and physical.
Limitations
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Last updated 2016-02-26 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
