North Sea surface underway data collected from the CEFAS Endeavour vessel between 2013-10-06 and 2013-10-08. The dataset includes measurements of 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 measurements in atmosphere and water
- Analyze correlations between sea surface temperature and partial pressure of carbon dioxide
- Model ocean carbon dynamics in the North Sea based on salinity and temperature data
- Validate autonomous carbon dioxide measurement instruments against ship-based observations
Strengths
- Data covers a specific cruise (74E920131006) with precise temporal coverage from 2013-10-06 to 2013-10-08
- Includes multiple related variables: partial pressure of CO2 in air and water, salinity, sea surface temperature, and barometric pressure
- Data collection method is specified, involving carbon dioxide gas analyzers and shower head chamber equilibrators
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 short cruise in the North Sea
