Surface underway chemical and physical data collected from SOOP M/V Nuka Arctica lines in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2008-01-08 to 2009-01-07. The data include measurements of mole fraction of CO2, barometric pressure, sea surface temperature, and fugacity of CO2 in seawater. These data were collected by researchers from the University of Bergen and University of Gothenburg and consist of 29 cruise data sets.
Use Cases
- Modeling air-sea carbon dioxide exchange based on fugacity of CO2 in seawater.
- Analyzing seasonal or spatial variability of surface ocean pCO2 based on mole fraction measurements.
- Calibrating or validating satellite-derived sea surface temperature products based on in-situ SST measurements.
- Studying the relationship between atmospheric and oceanic CO2 levels based on mole fraction in dry air and equilibrator headspace.
Strengths
- Data covers a full year of observations from 2008-01-08 to 2009-01-07.
- Collection includes 29 distinct cruise data sets.
- Specific measurement variables are listed, including fugacity of CO2, SST, and barometric pressure.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Last updated 2009-01-07; freshness should be verified.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
