Surface underway measurements of partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) and other parameters aboard the CCGS Amundsen during a cruise through the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. The data includes pCO2, barometric pressure, sea surface salinity, and sea surface temperature, collected from 2016-08-02 to 2016-09-26. NOAA_NCEI is the organization responsible for this accession.
Use Cases
- Modeling ocean carbon uptake based on partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) measurements.
- Analyzing Arctic sea surface temperature variability alongside salinity data.
- Studying atmospheric pressure influences on marine carbon dioxide exchange.
- Correlating sea surface salinity with pCO2 levels to understand freshwater influx effects.
Strengths
- Data covers a specific cruise from 2016-08-02 to 2016-09-26, providing a defined temporal snapshot.
- Includes multiple concurrent parameters: pCO2, barometric pressure, 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.
- Last updated 2016-09-26 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
