Publications using this data set

Handling precautions
This data set only removes anomalous values caused by malfunctions of observation equipment, and would contain high-concentration CO2 data caused by emissions from the ship itself. Therefore, we ask that users process the data by themselves based on statistical methods or other parameter changes, and kindly request that users utilize the data just after the processing.

Data Set

Parameters
Calibrated atmospheric CO2, Temperature, Calibrated atmospheric pressure at sea level, O3
Time resolution
10 minutes
Precision
0.1 ppm
Observation period
2018/02/21 - 2019/05/13
Location
Latitude: 10°S-40°N
Longitude: 100°E-140°E
Measurement method
Air is sampled by the a sampling inlet mounted ship's top deck using a diaphragm pump installed in the observation room. The sampled air is led into a measuring line where it goes through dehumidification at dehumidifier, after which the CO2 concentration are determined using a measuring equipment (NDIR). Every 8 hours, 4 cylinders of standard gases are measured and the CO2 concentration are calibrated. Calibration of the standard gases is carried out using the NIES09 standard gas series developed by NIES.
Calculation method
10 minute average is calculated and recorded based on the output from the NDIR every 10 seconds. The calibrated CO2 concentraions are the time-weighted average values calculated from the calibration curve right before and after the measurements.
