Coastal Carbon Dioxide Measurements from the CEFAS ENDEAVOUR, February 2013

Coastal_CEND_01_13 includes surface underway chemical, meteorological, and physical data collected from the CEFAS ENDEAVOUR research vessel. The data cover the Bristol Channel, English Channel, Irish Sea, St. George's Channel, North Atlantic Ocean, and North Sea from February 3 to 13, 2013. It was collected by David J. Pearce and Naomi Greenwood of the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (Cefas).

Use Cases

• Modeling air-sea carbon dioxide flux based on partial pressure differences mentioned in the description.
• Analyzing coastal carbon system variability based on concurrent sea surface temperature and salinity data.
• Calibrating or validating autonomous carbon dioxide measurement systems based on the instruments used.
• Studying short-term biogeochemical dynamics in coastal shelf seas based on the geographic and temporal scope.

Strengths

• Data includes multiple concurrent variables: partial pressure of CO2 in air and water, salinity, sea surface temperature, and barometric pressure.
• Specific temporal coverage from 2013-02-03 to 2013-02-13 with a defined cruise ID (74E920130203).
• Clear instrument documentation includes 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.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
