North Pacific Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and North Atlantic Ocean measurements collected from the M/S New Century 2 ship from January 2018 to January 2019. The data include partial pressure of carbon dioxide in air and water, sea surface salinity and temperature, and meteorological parameters like humidity and wind. Instruments used include a carbon dioxide gas analyzer, thermosalinographs, and barometric pressure sensors.
Use Cases
- Modeling ocean carbon uptake based on partial pressure of carbon dioxide measurements.
- Analyzing air-sea gas exchange dynamics based on air-sea difference in partial pressure of carbon dioxide.
- Studying regional oceanographic conditions based on sea surface salinity and temperature.
- Correlating meteorological conditions with ocean parameters based on wind speed, humidity, and barometric pressure.
Strengths
- Data collection spans a full year from 2018-01-10 to 2019-01-13.
- Includes multiple related parameters: carbon dioxide, salinity, temperature, and meteorological data.
- Specifies the instruments used, including 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.
- Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the specific ship track.
