Surface underway data from the Skogafoss vessel in the North Atlantic Ocean and adjacent seas from January to March 2016. These data include partial pressure of carbon dioxide in air and water, salinity, sea surface temperature, and barometric pressure, collected using a CO2 gas analyzer. The data were collected by researchers from NOAA's Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory.
Use Cases
- Modeling air-sea carbon dioxide flux based on partial pressure measurements.
- Analyzing seasonal carbon dynamics in northern seas based on time-series data from early 2016.
- Correlating sea surface temperature with carbon dioxide partial pressure for climate studies.
- Validating ocean carbon chemistry models using in-situ salinity and CO2 measurements.
Strengths
- Data covers a specific temporal window from 2016-01-28 to 2016-03-30.
- Includes direct measurements of carbon dioxide partial pressure in both air and water.
- Covers multiple geographic regions: North Atlantic Ocean, North Greenland Sea, North Sea, and Norwegian Sea.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Last updated 2016-03-30 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
