Surface underway measurements of barometric pressure, carbon dioxide fugacity in air and water, salinity, and sea surface temperature collected aboard the LAURENCE M. GOULD research vessel. The data cover the South Atlantic Ocean, South Pacific Ocean, and Southern Oceans (>60 degrees South) from December 31, 2007 to October 27, 2008. These data were collected by researchers from Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory, and the University of Colorado Boulder as part of the VOS_LMG_NOAA_2008 dataset.
Use Cases
- Calculate air-sea carbon dioxide exchange rates based on partial pressure measurements.
- Study ocean acidification trends in the Southern Oceans based on fugacity of carbon dioxide in water.
- Correlate sea surface temperature with carbon dioxide solubility based on temperature and salinity data.
- Analyze atmospheric carbon dioxide variability in remote ocean regions based on barometric pressure and atmospheric CO2 fugacity.
Strengths
- Data collection spans a significant time range from December 31, 2007 to October 27, 2008.
- Geographic coverage includes three major ocean regions: South Atlantic, South Pacific, and Southern Oceans.
- Data originates from multiple authoritative institutions: Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, NOAA ESRL, and University of Colorado Boulder.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
