Brookhaven National Laboratory collected surface temperature, salinity, and pCO2 data via bottle casts from the METEOR vessel. Measurements were taken in the North Atlantic Ocean between September 3 and September 22, 1991. The data were submitted as part of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) project.
Use Cases
- Modeling ocean carbon dioxide absorption based on pCO2 measurements
- Analyzing seasonal ocean surface temperature variability in the North Atlantic
- Studying correlations between salinity and temperature in surface waters
- Calibrating satellite-derived ocean surface data with in-situ bottle cast measurements
Strengths
- Data collected over a specific 20-day period in September 1991
- Includes three key oceanographic variables: temperature, salinity, and pCO2
- Submitted by a known research institution (Brookhaven National Laboratory) for a major international project (WOCE)
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Last updated 1991-09-22 00:00:00; freshness should be verified
