Surface underway chemical, meteorological, and physical data collected from the CEFAS ENDEAVOUR vessel in the English Channel and North Atlantic Ocean from March 24 to April 7, 2012. The data include partial pressure of carbon dioxide in air and water, salinity, sea surface temperature, and barometric pressure. David J. Pearce and Naomi Greenwood of the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science collected these data as part of the Coastal_CEND_05_12 dataset.
Use Cases
- Modeling air-sea carbon dioxide flux based on partial pressure measurements.
- Analyzing coastal carbon dynamics based on salinity and sea surface temperature.
- Studying seasonal variability of oceanic CO2 based on a specific time series.
- Calibrating autonomous carbon dioxide measurement instruments based on field data.
Strengths
- Data includes multiple variables: partial pressure of CO2 in air and water, salinity, sea surface temperature, and barometric pressure.
- Collection period is precisely defined from 2012-03-24 to 2012-04-07.
- Data originates from a specific research vessel (CEFAS ENDEAVOUR) and cruise (74E920120324).
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
