Surface Ocean CO2 Atlas (SOCAT) V1.4

A well-documented, publicly available, global data set of surface ocean carbon dioxide (CO2) parameters has been called for by international groups for nearly two decades. The Surface Ocean CO2 Atlas (SOCAT) project was initiated by the international marine carbon science community in 2007 with the aim of providing a comprehensive, publicly available, regularly updated, global data set of marine surface CO2, which had been subject to quality control (QC). Many additional CO2 data, not yet made public via the Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center (CDIAC), were retrieved from data originators, public websites and other data centres. All data were put in a uniform format following a strict protocol. Quality control was carried out according to clearly defined criteria. Regional specialists performed the quality control, using state-of-the-art web-based tools, specially developed for accomplishing this global team effort. […]

国际社会对一份详尽记录、公开可用的全球性表层海洋二氧化碳（CO2）参数数据集的需求已持续近二十年。2007年，国际海洋碳科学界启动了表层海洋CO2图谱（SOCAT）项目，旨在提供一套全面、公开、定期更新的、经过质量控制的全球海洋表面CO2数据集。此外，还从数据源头、公共网站和其他数据中心收集了大量尚未通过二氧化碳信息分析中心（CDIAC）公开的CO2数据。所有数据均按照严格协议进行统一格式化处理。质量控制工作依据明确定义的标准执行。区域专家利用特别为完成这一全球团队协作任务而开发的尖端基于网络的工具，进行了质量控制。 [...]
