Surface underway measurements of partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2) in the Atlantic Ocean were collected from the M/N Cap San Lorenzo vessel between June 24 and September 28, 2018. The data include atmospheric and water pCO2, sea surface salinity, temperature, and barometric pressure. These data were collected by NOAA NCEI using a Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer.
Use Cases
- Model ocean carbon uptake based on partial pressure of carbon dioxide - water measurements.
- Analyze air-sea gas exchange dynamics based on paired atmospheric and water pCO2 data.
- Study regional oceanographic conditions based on concurrent sea surface salinity and temperature readings.
- Correlate meteorological influences on ocean chemistry based on barometric pressure data.
Strengths
- Data includes paired measurements of pCO2 in both atmosphere and water, enabling direct air-sea comparison.
- Collection occurred over a specific 3-month period from 2018-06-24 to 2018-09-28.
- Data originates from a recognized scientific platform (NOAA_NCEI) and a specific vessel (M/N Cap San Lorenzo).
Limitations
