From July 7 to August 21, 2014, surface underway data were collected aboard the CCGS Amundsen during a cruise in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. The dataset includes measurements of partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2), barometric pressure, sea surface salinity, and sea surface temperature. NOAA_NCEI provides these chemical, meteorological, and physical data.
Use Cases
- Modeling oceanic carbon dioxide uptake based on partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) measurements.
- Analyzing relationships between sea surface temperature and pCO2 levels.
- Studying Arctic marine chemistry based on sea surface salinity data.
- Correlating atmospheric and oceanic conditions based on barometric pressure readings.
Strengths
- Data covers a specific 45-day cruise in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago.
- Includes key parameters for carbon cycle studies: pCO2, salinity, temperature, and barometric pressure.
- Instruments used are specified: CO2 gas analyzer and shower head chamber equilibrator.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
