NOAA Coral Reef Watch Monthly 25 km Ocean Acidification Product Suite from 1995-01-01 to 1995-12-31 covering the Greater Caribbean Region (NODC Accession 0075243)

The NOAA Coral Reef Watch Experimental Ocean Acidification Product Suite (OAPS) offers an important synthesis of satellite and modeled environmental datasets to provide a synoptic estimate of sea surface carbonate chemistry in the Greater Caribbean Region. This tool complements ongoing geochemical surveys and monitoring efforts in the region by providing estimates of changing ocean chemistry on a broader spatial and temporal scale than shipboard observations alone can permit. The maps presented here are monthly averages of daily estimates derived according to Gledhill et al., 2008. Near-real-time estimates are modeled from daily fields of NOAA Optimum Interpolation Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer - Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AVHRR-AMSRE) SST, Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model + Navey Coupled Ocean Data Assimilation (HYCOM + NCODA) modeled sea surface salinity (SSS), NOAA National Centers for Environmental Predication (NCEP) sea-level pressure (SLP), and estimates of atmospheric CO2 derived from the NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory GLOBALVIEW-CO2 reference marine boundary layer (MBL). The parameters provided in this data set include sea surface temperature (SST), sea surface salinity (SSS), partial pressure of carbon dioxide for seawater (pCO2sw), total alkilinity (TA), total inorganic carbon (TC), pH, aragonite saturation state (SSA), bicarbonate ion concentration (HCO3), and carbonate ion concentration (CO3). All parameters are provided at monthly, 25km resolution.

美国国家海洋和大气管理局（NOAA）珊瑚礁监测计划（Coral Reef Watch）推出的实验性海洋酸化产品套件（Ocean Acidification Product Suite, OAPS），整合了卫星观测与数值模拟的环境数据集，可为大加勒比海区的海表碳酸盐化学状态提供同步估算结果。该工具可补充该区域正在开展的地球化学调查与监测工作，能够在比单一船基观测更广阔的时空尺度上，提供海洋化学变化的估算值。本文展示的地图为依据格莱希尔（Gledhill）等人2008年的研究方法生成的每日估算值的月平均值。近实时估算值基于以下数据场模拟得到：NOAA最优插值先进甚高分辨率辐射计-先进微波扫描辐射计（AVHRR-AMSRE）海表温度（SST）日场、混合坐标海洋模型+海军耦合海洋数据同化系统（HYCOM + NCODA）模拟的海表盐度（SSS）、美国国家海洋和大气管理局国家环境预报中心（National Centers for Environmental Prediction, NCEP）海表气压（SLP），以及来自NOAA地球系统研究实验室GLOBALVIEW-CO2参考海洋边界层（MBL）的大气CO₂估算值。本数据集包含的参数有：海表温度（SST）、海表盐度（SSS）、海水二氧化碳分压（pCO₂sw）、总碱度（TA）、总无机碳（TC）、pH值、文石饱和状态（SSA）、碳酸氢根离子浓度（HCO₃⁻）以及碳酸根离子浓度（CO₃²⁻）。所有参数均以月度分辨率、25千米空间分辨率提供。
