Partial pressure of carbon dioxide in air and water, salinity, and sea surface temperature collected from the MONTE OLIVIA and Rio Blanco vessels during 2009. Nathalie Lefèvre of Université Pierre et Marie Curie led the collection across the English Channel, North Atlantic Ocean, North Sea, and South Atlantic Ocean. Instruments included a Carbon dioxide gas analyzer and a Shower head chamber equilibrator.
Use Cases
- Modeling ocean-atmosphere carbon dioxide exchange based on partial pressure measurements.
- Analyzing regional variations in sea surface temperature and salinity across Atlantic basins.
- Studying seasonal trends in marine carbon chemistry based on time-series data from 2009.
Strengths
- Data includes multiple variables: BAROMETRIC PRESSURE, Partial pressure of carbon dioxide - atmosphere, Partial pressure of carbon dioxide - water, SALINITY, and SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE.
- Collection spanned multiple ocean regions: English Channel, North Atlantic Ocean, North Sea, and South Atlantic Ocean.
- Time range covers nearly a full year from 2009-01-18 to 2009-12-23.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Last updated 2009-12-23 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
