Surface underway chemical, meteorological, and physical data collected from the NATHANIEL B. PALMER research vessel in the South Atlantic Ocean, South Pacific Ocean, and Southern Oceans (> 60 degrees South) from March 14 to September 2, 2012. These data include BAROMETRIC PRESSURE, Partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide - water, SALINITY, and SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE. The data were collected by Stewart C. Sutherland, Taro Takahashi of Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, and Colm Sweeney of NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory.
Use Cases
- Modeling oceanic carbon dioxide uptake based on partial pressure measurements.
- Analyzing sea surface temperature and salinity correlations in the Southern Ocean.
- Studying atmospheric-ocean interactions based on barometric pressure and surface data.
- Tracking seasonal carbon dioxide variability in high-latitude oceans during 2012.
Strengths
- Data collected over a 5-month period from March to September 2012.
- Includes measurements from three ocean regions: South Atlantic, South Pacific, and Southern Oceans.
- Data originates from a named research vessel (NATHANIEL B. PALMER) and specific researchers.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
