Surface Underway Carbon Dioxide and Oceanographic Data from the North Sea, July 2013

From 2013-07-28 to 2013-07-31, surface underway chemical, meteorological, and physical data were collected from the CEFAS ENDEAVOUR research vessel in the North Sea and South Atlantic Ocean. The dataset includes measurements of partial pressure of carbon dioxide in air and water, salinity, sea surface temperature, and barometric pressure. These data were collected by David J. Pearce and Naomi Greenwood of the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (Cefas) as part of the Coastal_CEND_14_13 cruise.

Use Cases

• Modeling air-sea carbon dioxide flux based on partial pressure differences mentioned in the description.
• Analyzing correlations between sea surface temperature and carbon dioxide solubility based on the measured variables.
• Studying regional oceanographic conditions in the North Sea based on salinity and temperature data.
• Calibrating or validating autonomous carbon dioxide measurement systems based on the instrument types used.

Strengths

• Data includes multiple concurrent measurements (chemical, meteorological, physical) for a single cruise.
• Specific temporal coverage from 2013-07-28 to 2013-07-31 is documented.
• Clear provenance with named principal investigators (David J. Pearce, Naomi Greenwood) and their institution (Cefas).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic/temporal bias inherent to a single, short cruise.
