Surface underway measurements of carbon dioxide partial pressure and related variables collected from the vessel SKOGAFOSS. The data cover ten voyages across the Labrador Sea, North Atlantic Ocean, North Greenland Sea, North Sea, and Norwegian Sea from January 17, 2015 to January 28, 2016. Data were collected by researchers from the NOAA Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory using a Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer and other instruments.
Use Cases
- Modeling air-sea carbon dioxide flux based on the difference between atmospheric and water partial pressure measurements.
- Analyzing seasonal variability in sea surface temperature and salinity across northern ocean basins.
- Calibrating and validating satellite-derived ocean carbon data with in-situ surface underway observations.
- Studying correlations between barometric pressure and oceanic carbon parameters.
Strengths
- Data collection spans multiple distinct oceanographic regions over a one-year period.
- Measurements include key variables for carbon flux calculation: air and water CO2 partial pressure, salinity, and temperature.
- Data provenance is clearly documented with specific cruise IDs and principal investigators.
Limitations
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Last updated 2016-01-28; freshness should be verified for contemporary studies.
