Surface underway measurements of carbon dioxide and related variables collected aboard the vessel Cap San Lorenzo from January to July 2016. The data include barometric pressure, partial pressure of carbon dioxide in air and water, salinity, and sea surface temperature, gathered using a CO2 gas analyzer. Data were collected by researchers from the French National Research Institute for Sustainable Development and Universite Pierre et Marie Curie.
Use Cases
- Modeling air-sea carbon dioxide flux based on partial pressure measurements.
- Analyzing correlations between sea surface temperature and oceanic CO2 levels.
- Studying spatial and temporal variability of surface ocean carbon parameters along a ship track.
- Validating satellite-derived ocean carbon and salinity products with in-situ underway data.
Strengths
- Data covers a specific six-month voyage from January to July 2016.
- Includes concurrent measurements of atmospheric and aquatic CO2 partial pressure, salinity, and temperature.
Limitations
- Row count and file format are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
