NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown collected surface underway chemical, meteorological, optical and physical data in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans from 2004-12-29 to 2005-11-25. The data include partial pressure of carbon dioxide in atmosphere and water, sea surface salinity, sea surface temperature, wind direction, wind speed, barometric pressure and air temperature. Instruments used include barometric pressure sensors, carbon dioxide gas analyzers, shower head chamber equilibrators and thermosalinographs.
Use Cases
- Model ocean carbon sequestration based on partial pressure of carbon dioxide in water
- Analyze sea surface temperature and salinity correlations based on thermosalinograph data
- Study wind speed and direction effects on local carbon dioxide measurements
- Correlate atmospheric and aquatic carbon dioxide partial pressures based on dual measurements
- Investigate barometric pressure and air temperature relationships with oceanic variables
Strengths
- Data collected over nearly a full year from 2004-12-29 to 2005-11-25
- Includes paired measurements for carbon dioxide partial pressure in both atmosphere and water
- Instruments listed include specific analyzers and equilibrators
Limitations
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
