Mediterranean Sea surface underway measurements of partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2), salinity, temperature, and other parameters collected during a GO-SHIP cruise from March to April 2018. The data was collected by the R/V Maria S. Merian and is archived by NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information.
Use Cases
- Model ocean carbon uptake based on pCO2 measurements
- Analyze seawater properties based on salinity and temperature data
- Study seasonal variability in the Mediterranean Sea based on the 2018 cruise timeframe
Strengths
- Data covers a specific cruise from 2018-03-02 to 2018-04-03
- Includes key oceanographic parameters like pCO2, salinity, and temperature
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
