ANN-NEPc: A monthly surface pCO2 data product for the Northeast Pacific coastal ocean from 1998-01-01 to 2019-12-31 (NCEI Accession 0290365)

ANN-NEPc is a gridded surface ocean pCO2 data product for the Northeast Pacific coastal ocean. It was created using non-linear functional relationships between pCO2 observations from the Surface Ocean CO2 Atlas v2021 as well as additional data from a Fisheries and Oceans Canada February 2019 Line P cruise, a West Coast Ocean Acidification cruise from July and August 2010, and La Perouse cruises from May 2007 and May 2010, and a variety of independent predictor variables (see supplemental information) using an artificial neural network self-organizing-map-feed-forward-network approach described and evaluated in Duke et al. (2024). This file contains monthly pCO2 and air-sea CO2 flux fields from January 1998 to December 2019 at 1/12 degree by 1/12 degree (approximately 9 km by 5km; latitude by longitude) spatial resolution within typically < 6 to 300 km of shore. The air-sea CO2 fluxes are computed from the air-sea CO2 partial pressure difference and a bulk gas transfer formulation following Duke et al. (2024).
