North Sea surface underway chemical, meteorological, and physical data collected from the CEFAS ENDEAVOUR vessel between September 10 and 12, 2012. The data include partial pressure of carbon dioxide in air and water, salinity, sea surface temperature, and barometric pressure. David J. Pearce and Naomi Greenwood of the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science collected these data as part of the Coastal_CEND_14_12 dataset.
Use Cases
- Calculate air-sea carbon dioxide flux based on partial pressure measurements.
- Analyze coastal water chemistry variability based on salinity and sea surface temperature.
- Model short-term atmospheric influences on ocean carbon based on barometric pressure data.
- Validate autonomous carbon dioxide measurement instruments based on the described collection method.
Strengths
- Data covers a specific three-day cruise in September 2012.
- Includes multiple related variables: carbon dioxide partial pressure, salinity, temperature, and barometric pressure.
- Collection method is described, using a carbon dioxide gas analyzer and shower head chamber equilibrator.
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.
