From February 2019 to February 2020, NOAA collected surface underway chemical, meteorological, and physical data in the Southern Ocean, South Pacific, Drake Passage, and South Atlantic. The data include partial pressure of carbon dioxide in air and water, sea surface salinity, temperature, and barometric pressure. Instruments used include a carbon dioxide gas analyzer and a shower head chamber equilibrator.
Use Cases
- Modeling ocean carbon uptake based on partial pressure of carbon dioxide in water
- Analyzing atmospheric carbon dioxide trends based on partial pressure of carbon dioxide in air
- Studying sea surface temperature and salinity correlations with carbon dioxide levels
- Investigating barometric pressure effects on carbon dioxide measurements
Strengths
- Data collected over a one-year period from February 2019 to February 2020
- Includes measurements from multiple ocean regions: Southern Ocean, South Pacific, Drake Passage, and South Atlantic
- Data originates from NOAA, a recognized authoritative source
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- Last updated 2020-02-11 00:00:00; freshness should be verified
