Global SGD and CO2 data

This dataset is a global compilation of 40 coastal ecosystems across 12 countries. It consists of continuous time series for carbon dioxide and radon. Other parameters included are latitude, longitude, depth, temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen. Timestamps of each measurement correspond to the local time zone. Carbon dioxide and radon were measured using Licor and RAD7, respectively. Depth, temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen were measured using probes. This dataset was used to interpret the impact of SGD on CO2 dynamics in globally distributed coastal ecosystems.
