Surface underway measurements of carbon dioxide partial pressure, salinity, and sea temperature collected aboard the ROGER REVELLE research vessel. Data were collected by researchers from NOAA's Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory during a cruise in the Indian Ocean and surrounding seas. The dataset covers a specific time period from March 21 to April 27, 2016.
Use Cases
- Modeling air-sea carbon dioxide exchange based on partial pressure differences mentioned in the description
- Analyzing correlations between sea surface temperature and carbon dioxide fugacity in surface waters
- Studying regional carbon chemistry variability in the Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea
- Calibrating or validating ocean carbon cycle models with in-situ underway measurements
Strengths
- Data collected by named principal investigators from a NOAA laboratory, suggesting institutional oversight
- Covers a specific, well-documented research cruise (33RR20160321) with a defined time range
- Includes key variables for carbon cycle studies: atmospheric and aquatic CO2 partial pressure, salinity, and temperature
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Last updated 2016-04-27 00:00:00; freshness should be verified
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
