NCEI Accession 0157355 contains surface underway data collected from the MN COLIBRI vessel in the English Channel and North Atlantic Ocean between July and November 2014. The dataset includes measurements of barometric pressure, partial pressure of carbon dioxide in air and water, salinity, and sea surface temperature. These data were collected by researchers from L'Institut de Recherche Pour Le Developpement and Universite Pierre et Marie Curie as part of the VOS_Colibri_Line_2014 project.
Use Cases
- Modeling ocean carbon uptake based on partial pressure of carbon dioxide measurements.
- Analyzing correlations between sea surface temperature and carbon dioxide fugacity.
- Studying regional carbon flux variability in the North Atlantic based on underway observations.
- Calibrating satellite-derived salinity or sea surface temperature products with in-situ data.
Strengths
- Data covers a specific four-month time series from July to November 2014.
- Includes concurrent measurements of atmospheric and aquatic carbon dioxide partial pressure.
- Data collection was part of a defined research cruise (35MJ20140704) and project (VOS_Colibri_Line_2014).
Limitations
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
- Last updated 2014-11-04 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
