NCEI Accession 0208390 contains surface underway chemical, meteorological, and physical data collected from the M/S New Century 2 ship of opportunity. The data includes partial pressure of carbon dioxide, sea surface salinity, temperature, and atmospheric parameters from the North Pacific Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and North Atlantic Ocean between January 2019 and January 2020. NOAA_NCEI is the authoritative organization for this dataset.
Use Cases
- Modeling oceanic carbon dioxide uptake based on partial pressure of carbon dioxide measurements.
- Analyzing sea surface temperature and salinity relationships across ocean basins.
- Studying air-sea gas exchange dynamics based on air-sea difference - partial pressure of carbon dioxide.
- Correlating meteorological conditions like wind speed and humidity with sea surface parameters.
Strengths
- Data collection spans multiple ocean basins: North Pacific Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and North Atlantic Ocean.
- Time range covers a full year from 2019-01-16 to 2020-01-12.
- Instruments used include specialized sensors like a carbon dioxide gas analyzer and thermosalinographs.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
