Atlantic Ocean surface underway data collected by the M/N Cap San Lorenzo vessel from May to August 2019. The dataset includes measurements of barometric pressure, partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and water, sea surface salinity, and temperature. It was collected using a Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer and archived by NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information.
Use Cases
- Modeling ocean-atmosphere carbon dioxide exchange based on partial pressure measurements.
- Analyzing seasonal variability of surface ocean pCO2 based on the 2019 time range.
- Correlating sea surface salinity and temperature with carbon dioxide levels.
- Studying barometric pressure influence on marine carbon measurements.
Strengths
- Data includes simultaneous measurements of atmospheric and aquatic pCO2.
- Time range is explicitly defined from 2019-05-04 to 2019-08-31.
- Dataset originates from a recognized source (NOAA_NCEI).
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Last updated 2019-08-31; freshness should be verified.
