pCO2 data
The first graph shows
atmospheric and seawater pCO2 variability. As far as seawater goes we
have nicely visible difference between coastal and deep waters, as well
as sink conditions in the open ocean. For atmospheric levels, the first
issue is a confirmation that we have crossed 380 ppm line, and the second
issue is that contamination peaks are caused by a combination of the ships exhaust
gases and very (50 knots) strong winds from the aft (my air inlet is on
the monkey island so aft winds stronger than ships speed will
contaminate my air).
The second graph shows our track from the first day (as soon as we
have left Clyde) until we parked alongside Stornoway Ferry Pier. It
shows 4 stations: first is the test station (test deployments, test CTD),
the next two are regular CTDs and the fourth is where we unfortunately
lost the CTD.
