Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory and NOAA ESRL collected surface underway data for barometric pressure, carbon dioxide partial pressure, salinity, and sea surface temperature. Measurements were taken aboard the LAURENCE M. GOULD research vessel in the South Atlantic, South Pacific, and Southern Oceans from December 2014 to July 2015. These data contribute to the VOS_LMG_Lines_2015 dataset.
Use Cases
- Modeling ocean carbon uptake based on partial pressure of carbon dioxide measurements.
- Analyzing sea surface temperature and salinity relationships in the Southern Ocean.
- Studying atmospheric-ocean gas exchange using barometric pressure and CO2 fugacity data.
- Calibrating autonomous carbon dioxide measurement systems with ship-based observations.
Strengths
- Data collection spans a 6-month period from 2014-12-30 to 2015-07-01.
- Includes measurements from three ocean regions: South Atlantic, South Pacific, and Southern Oceans (>60 degrees South).
- Data originates from a named research vessel (LAURENCE M. GOULD) and specific instruments (CO2 gas analyzer, shower head chamber equilibrator).
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Freshness should be verified; metadata was last updated in 2026.
