North Sea Carbon Dioxide and Sea Surface Measurements from CEFAS Endeavour, June 2013

Surface underway data collected from the CEFAS ENDEAVOUR research vessel in the North Sea from 2013-06-08 to 2013-06-17. 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 as part of the Coastal_CEND_10_13 project.

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 in the North Sea
• Studying short-term variability in coastal ocean chemistry based on underway measurements
• Validating regional ocean carbon models with in-situ pCO2 and salinity data

Strengths

• Data covers a specific 10-day cruise in the North Sea from June 8-17, 2013
• Includes multiple concurrent variables: pCO2 in air and water, salinity, temperature, and barometric pressure
• Collected by named researchers from a recognized marine science institution (Cefas)

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data is from a single, short cruise, limiting temporal and spatial generalizability
