Carbon dioxide from surface underway survey in global oceans from 1968 to 2006 (Version 1.0) (NCEI Accession 0040205)

browse graphicGraphic not available.
More than 3 million measurements of surface water partial pressure of CO2 obtained over the global oceans during 1968 to 2006 are listed in the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory database, which includes open ocean and coastal water measurements. The data assembled include only those measured by equilibrator CO2 analyzer systems and have been quality-controlled based on the stability of the system performance, the reliability of calibrations for CO2 analysis, and the internal consistency of data. Versions up to 2007 are included in this dataset
