The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

| Title: | NOAA Coral Reef Watch Monthly 25 km Ocean Acidification Product Suite from 2009-01-01 to 2009-12-31 covering the Greater Caribbean Region (NCEI Accession 0075257) |
| Abstract: | 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 + Navy 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 alkalinity (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. |

| Supplementary information: | These experimental data are made freely available to the public and the scientific community in the belief that their wide dissemination will lead to greater understanding and new scientific insights. However, the availability and distribution of these data does not constitute publication of the data. NOAA relies on the ethics and integrity of the user to ensure that NOAA Coral Reef Watch and AOML receive fair credit for their work. If the data are obtained for potential use in a publication or presentation, the data producer should be informed at the outset of the nature of this work. If the OAPS data are essential to the work, or if an important result or conclusion depends on the data, co-authorship may be appropriate. This should be discussed at an early stage in the work. Manuscripts using the OAPS data should be sent to the producer for review before they are submitted for publication so the producer can ensure that the quality and limitations of the data are accurately represented. The methodology and science algorithms used to produce this data set are documented in the following publication: Gledhill, D.K, R. Wanninkhof, F.J. Millero and M. Eakin (2008). Ocean Acidification of the Greater Caribbean Region 1996-2006. Journal of Geophysical Research - Oceans 113: C10031. In this accession, NCEI has archived multiple versions of these data. The latest (and best) version of these data has the largest version number. |
