Continuous sea surface measurements of partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2), temperature, salinity, and atmospheric pressure were collected during the R/V Marion Dufresne OISO-28 cruise from January 5 to February 9, 2018. The OISO program, initiated in 1998 and supported by INSU/CNRS, collects CO2 and associated parameters along repeated lines in the South-Western Indian and Southern Oceans. These data are included in international syntheses like SOCAT and GLODAP.
Use Cases
- Modeling ocean carbon uptake based on continuous pCO2 measurements.
- Analyzing sea surface temperature and salinity correlations with atmospheric CO2.
- Calibrating global carbon cycle models using data from repeated cruise lines.
- Contributing to international synthesis efforts like SOCAT and GLODAP.
Strengths
- Data collected during a specific 35-day cruise from January 5 to February 9, 2018.
- Part of a long-term observation program (OISO) initiated in 1998.
- Includes multiple associated parameters such as temperature, salinity, and atmospheric pressure.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
