Ocean Surface pCO2 and Air-Sea CO2 Flux in the Northern Gulf of Mexico, 2006-2010

Metadata Updated: March 11, 2025

This dataset provides 1 km gridded monthly estimates of surface ocean partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) and air-sea flux of CO2 (CO2 flux) for the northern Gulf of Mexico for the period 2006 through 2010. Estimates of pCO2 were derived from MODIS/Aqua satellite imagery in combination with ship-based observations. Estimates of CO2 flux were derived from estimates of seawater pCO2, wind fields, and atmospheric pCO2.

Monthly composite images of satellite-derived pCO2 for the northern Gulf of Mexico, corresponding to each of the cruises for which observational data were acquired. Black pixels in the images correspond to areas that were masked (e.g., land, clouds), and the dotted lines represent the 45 and 200 m isobaths. From Lohrenz et al. (2018).
