A novel sea surface partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2) data product for the global coastal ocean resolving trends over the 1982-2020 period (NCEI Accession 0279118)
This dataset contains continuous monthly maps of sea surface partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) in the coastal ocean from 1982 to 2020. This product is an updated version of the coastal product of Laruelle et al. (2017) and has been created using a 2-step Self Organizing Maps (SOM) and Feed Forward Network (FFN) method and uses ~ 18 million direct observations from the latest release of the Surface Ocean CO2 database (SOCATv2022, Bakker et al., 2014, 2022). In a first step, the global coastal ocean is divided into 10 biogeochemical provinces using SOM, which group regions with similar environmental properties. Then, for each province, the FFN algorithm reconstructs nonlinear relationships between a set of environmental variables (e.g., sea surface temperature, salinity...) and the observed pCO2. These relationships are then used to perform the spatiotemporal pCO2 extrapolation in regions and time periods where data are lacking. The output consists of continuous monthly pCO2 maps for the coastal ocean, with a spatial resolution of 0.25°, covering the 1982-2020 period. Additionally, this new coastal pCO2 product is used to generate a new coastal air-sea CO2 exchange (FCO2) product for each grid cell at the monthly time scale from 1982 to 2020 using the following equation: FCO2=k∙K0∙∆pCO2∙(1-ice) where FCO2 represents the coastal air-sea CO2 exchange (in mol C m-2 yr-1). By convention a positive FCO2 value corresponds to a CO2 source for the atmosphere. ∆pCO2 represents the difference between the oceanic pCO2 and the atmospheric pCO2 (in atm). K0 (mol C m-3 atm-1) represents the CO2 solubility in sea water which is a function of SST and SSS following the equation of Weiss et al. (1974). k represents the gas exchange transfer velocity (m yr-1) which is a function of the second moment of the wind speed and is calculated using the equation of Ho et al. (2011) and the Schmidt number based on the equation of Wanninkhof et al. (2014). The sea-ice coverage is represented by the term ice and has no units.
