Surface underway measurements of carbon dioxide partial pressure, temperature, salinity, and wind collected during the Meteor36/2 cruise from June to July 1996. The data were collected by Arne Körtzinger of GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel using a Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer and other instruments. Observations cover the North Atlantic Ocean and North Sea.
Use Cases
- Modeling ocean carbon uptake based on partial pressure of carbon dioxide measurements.
- Analyzing sea surface temperature and salinity relationships in the North Atlantic.
- Studying wind patterns and their influence on surface ocean chemistry.
- Validating satellite-derived sea surface data with in-situ measurements.
Strengths
- Data includes multiple related variables (carbon dioxide, temperature, salinity, wind) for integrated analysis.
- Specific cruise (Meteor36/2) and time period (1996-06-22 to 1996-07-17) are documented.
- Collection institution (GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel) and principal investigator are identified.
Limitations
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
