From 2005-01-28 to 2005-12-12, surface underway chemical, meteorological, and physical data were collected from the Nathaniel B. Palmer research vessel in the South Atlantic Ocean, South Pacific Ocean, and Southern Oceans. Stewart C. Sutherland, Taro Takahashi of Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, and Colm Sweeney of NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory collected these data, which include barometric pressure, partial pressure of carbon dioxide, salinity, and sea surface temperature.
Use Cases
- Modeling ocean carbon uptake based on partial pressure of carbon dioxide measurements.
- Analyzing sea surface temperature variability in the Southern Ocean.
- Studying relationships between barometric pressure and oceanic conditions.
- Calibrating autonomous carbon dioxide measurement instruments.
- Assessing salinity patterns in the South Atlantic and South Pacific Oceans.
Strengths
- Data collected over a nearly year-long period from 2005-01-28 to 2005-12-12.
- Includes measurements from multiple ocean basins: South Atlantic, South Pacific, and Southern Oceans.
- Data collected by named researchers from Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory and NOAA ESRL.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the specific vessel cruise track.
Provenance
