Surface underway measurements of partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2) and other parameters collected by Saildrone TPOS_2017_SD1006 in the North and Tropical Pacific Ocean. The dataset includes chemical, meteorological, and physical data from 2017-09-02 to 2018-05-18, gathered using instruments like carbon dioxide gas analyzers and thermosalinographs. It was archived by NOAA_NCEI.
Use Cases
- Model ocean carbon uptake based on partial pressure of carbon dioxide in water measurements.
- Analyze air-sea gas exchange dynamics based on the difference between seawater and atmospheric pCO2.
- Study regional ocean chemistry variability based on pH on total scale and oxygen percent saturation.
- Correlate meteorological conditions with carbon dioxide levels based on barometric pressure and humidity sensor data.
Strengths
- Data covers a continuous time series from 2017-09-02 to 2018-05-18.
- Includes multiple related parameters: pCO2 in water and air, pH, oxygen saturation, and meteorological readings.
- Data collected via autonomous Saildrone platform, likely providing consistent underway measurements.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Last updated 2018-05-18; freshness should be verified.
