High-resolution record of surface seawater CO2 content from 2016-08 to 2019-05 from the OceansAlaska Shellfish Hatchery in Ketchikan, Alaska, USA (NCEI Accession 0246099)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 26, 2026 | Last Modified: 2022-01-27T00:00:00.000+00:00
This dataset includes measurements of partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2), sea surface salinity, sea surface temperature and other parameters from the OceansAlaska Shellfish Hatchery in Ketchikan, Alaska from 2016-08-29 to 2019-05-16. The OceansAlaska Shellfish Hatchery in Ketchikan, is a floating barge that has been a site for high-resolution measurement of surface seawater CO2 content since August 2016. Measurements of in situ temperature, salinity, and CO2 partial pressure are made near-continuously from a seawater sample line with an intake depth of 4.3 m. The effort to collect these data is a collaboration between OceansAlaska, the UAF Ocean Acidification Research Center, Oregon State University, and the Hakai Institute with support from the Alaska Ocean Observing System and the Tula Foundation. This data contribution consists of measurements made between August 29, 2016 and May 16, 2019.
