North Sea surface underway chemical, meteorological, and physical data collected from the CEFAS ENDEAVOUR vessel between December 1 and December 4, 2012. The dataset includes partial pressure of carbon dioxide in air and water, salinity, sea surface temperature, and barometric pressure. Data were collected by David J. Pearce and Naomi Greenwood of the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science using carbon dioxide gas analyzers and equilibrators.
Use Cases
- Calculate air-sea carbon dioxide flux based on partial pressure differences mentioned in the description
- Analyze correlations between sea surface temperature and carbon dioxide partial pressure in water
- Model short-term carbon dioxide variability in coastal waters based on high-resolution underway measurements
- Study meteorological influences on ocean carbon chemistry based on concurrent barometric pressure data
Strengths
- Data includes concurrent atmospheric and oceanic carbon dioxide measurements, enabling direct flux calculation
- Collection period spans four consecutive days in December 2012, providing a short-term time series
- Data were collected by named scientists from a recognized research 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 bias inherent to a single cruise in the North Sea
