Surface underway measurements of carbon dioxide partial pressure, salinity, and sea surface temperature collected from research vessels in the Coastal Waters of Florida, North Atlantic Ocean, and South Atlantic Ocean from 1993-05-11 to 1996-10-17. The data were collected by Taro Takahashi of Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory as part of the Ocean Margins Program expeditions.
Use Cases
- Modeling ocean-atmosphere carbon dioxide exchange based on partial pressure measurements.
- Analyzing temporal trends in marine carbon sequestration based on time-series data from 1993 to 1996.
- Correlating sea surface temperature with carbon dioxide fugacity in coastal and open ocean waters.
- Studying spatial variability of ocean carbon chemistry across the North and South Atlantic Ocean.
Strengths
- Data collected over a multi-year period from 1993 to 1996.
- Includes measurements from multiple research vessels: COLUMBUS ISELIN, ENDEAVOR, GYRE, OCEANUS, and SEWARD JOHNSON.
- Specific instruments used are documented: Carbon dioxide gas analyzer and Shower head chamber equilibrator.
Limitations
- Last updated 1996-10-17; freshness should be verified.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
