Surface underway data collected in the English Channel and North Atlantic Ocean in 2017. The dataset includes measurements of barometric pressure, partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and water, sea surface salinity, and temperature. Data were collected by researchers from the French National Research Institute for Sustainable Development and Universite Pierre et Marie Curie using a CO2 gas analyzer.
Use Cases
- Modeling ocean carbon uptake based on partial pressure of carbon dioxide measurements.
- Analyzing sea surface temperature and salinity correlations with atmospheric CO2.
- Studying regional carbon flux variability in the Atlantic Ocean based on underway measurements.
Strengths
- Data includes simultaneous measurements of atmospheric and aquatic partial pressure of carbon dioxide.
- Measurements were collected in 2017 from a specific vessel, the MN Colibri.
- Data covers a defined geographic region: the English Channel and North Atlantic Ocean.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Last updated 2017-11-12 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
