Partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide, salinity and other variables collected f

Surface underway measurements of carbon dioxide partial pressure, salinity, and sea surface temperature collected aboard the ANTARES vessel. The data were gathered in the North and South Atlantic Ocean between March 2009 and August 2010 during cruise 14AT20090320. Nathalie Lefèvre of the Université Pierre et Marie Curie led the collection as part of the TS_PIRATA8N38W data set.

Use Cases

• Modeling air-sea carbon dioxide flux based on partial pressure measurements in water and atmosphere.
• Analyzing correlations between sea surface temperature and carbon dioxide solubility mentioned in the description.
• Studying spatial and temporal variability of ocean carbon parameters in the Atlantic Ocean.
• Validating satellite-derived sea surface salinity products with in-situ salinity data.

Strengths

• Data collection spans over a year, from 2009-03-20 to 2010-08-06, providing a temporal snapshot.
• Includes concurrent measurements of multiple variables: barometric pressure, CO2 fugacity, salinity, and sea surface temperature.
• Specifies the use of dedicated instruments like a 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.
