Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (Cefas) collected surface underway chemical, meteorological, and physical data from the CEFAS ENDEAVOUR vessel in the Bristol Channel, English Channel, Irish Sea, St. George's Channel, North Atlantic Ocean, and North Sea from September 13 to 25, 2012. These data include air-sea difference in partial pressure of carbon dioxide, barometric pressure, partial pressure of carbon dioxide in atmosphere and water, salinity, and sea surface temperature. Instruments used include a Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer and a Shower head chamber equilibrator.
Use Cases
- Calculate air-sea carbon dioxide flux based on partial pressure differences mentioned in the description
- Analyze correlations between sea surface temperature and carbon dioxide partial pressure
- Model regional carbon dioxide variability in the North Atlantic and adjacent seas
- Validate autonomous carbon dioxide measurement systems against ship-based observations
Strengths
- Data collected over a 13-day period in September 2012
- Includes multiple related variables: carbon dioxide partial pressure, salinity, temperature, and barometric pressure
- Specific instruments are named: Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer and Shower head chamber equilibrator
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
