The English Channel and North Atlantic Ocean are the geographic scope for this dataset. It contains surface underway measurements of barometric pressure, partial pressure of carbon dioxide in atmosphere and water, sea surface salinity, and temperature. The data were collected by NOAA_NCEI from the MN Colibri vessel between January and August 2019.
Use Cases
- Calculate ocean carbon uptake based on partial pressure of carbon dioxide - water measurements
- Model air-sea gas exchange dynamics based on paired atmospheric and aquatic pCO2 data
- Analyze regional carbon variability based on sea surface salinity and temperature readings
- Validate satellite-derived carbon estimates based on in-situ surface underway measurements
Strengths
- Data span a 7-month period from 2019-01-11 to 2019-08-19
- Includes paired measurements for both atmosphere and water partial pressure of carbon dioxide
- Collected via a dedicated Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer instrument
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
