Table 2 Description of variables included in the primary dataset Deception_2025_CO2_ocean_meteo_seismic.csv.
Variable name | Units | Description |
|---|---|---|
Date | — | Timestamp of the observation in local ship time (DD/MM/YY HH:MM). |
Latitude | [°] Decimal degrees | Latitude of the observation point (WGS84). |
Longitude | [°] Decimal degrees | Longitude of the observation point (WGS84). |
Seawater temperature | [°C] | Temperature of surface seawater in degrees Celsius. |
Salinity | — | Practical Salinity [PSS-78] (unitless). |
CO2 | [µatm] | Partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) in surface water. |
Tidal Elevation | [m] | Sea surface elevation relative to mean sea level. |
Solar radiation | [W m−2] | Incident solar radiation measured onboard. |
Air temperature | [°C] | Air temperature measured every 10 minutes by the AEMET meteorological station (WMO-89070) at Gabriel de Castilla Base. Values were forward-filled to 1-minute resolution. |
Wind speed | [m s−1] | Wind speed measured at 10 meters above ground level every 10 minutes by AEMET at Gabriel de Castilla Base. Values were forward-filled to 1-minute resolution |
Seismic events | — | Binary indicator (0 or 1) of whether a local seismic event was detected during that minute. Derived from the IGN Deception seismic stations. |
Seismic events 10-minute average | — | Number of seismic events Integer ( ≥ 0) detected in the previous 10 minutes, computed as a rolling sum. Unlike the binary Seismic events variable, this value can exceed one. |
