NODC Accession 0117712 contains surface underway data collected from the research vessel THALASSA in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2012-08-19 to 2012-09-10. The data include partial pressure of carbon dioxide in air and water, salinity, sea surface temperature, and barometric pressure. Brian Ward of the National University of Ireland - Galway collected these data as part of the VOS_STRASSE_2012 dataset.
Use Cases
- Modeling air-sea carbon dioxide flux based on partial pressure measurements.
- Analyzing correlations between sea surface temperature and carbon dioxide solubility.
- Studying regional carbon dynamics in the North Atlantic Ocean.
- Validating satellite-derived sea surface salinity products with in-situ measurements.
Strengths
- Data includes simultaneous measurements of atmospheric and aquatic carbon dioxide partial pressure.
- Covers a specific 23-day research cruise with defined spatial coverage in the North Atlantic Ocean.
- Instruments used are specified, including a carbon dioxide gas analyzer and thermosalinographs.
Limitations
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Last updated 2012-09-10; freshness should be verified.
