🌊📊 #SOOS_DATAMonday | #SOOSmap_Month Spotlight!
Today we’re diving into two powerful datasets available through #SOOSmap from @noaa.gov !

🟦 SOCAT v2024 – The Surface Ocean CO₂ Atlas
➡️ Provides high-quality surface ocean carbon dioxide (CO₂) analysis

📊 #SOOS_DATAMonday Feature: OCEAN:ICE ❄️

Various international projects contribute to the data in soosmap.aq! One of these is ocean-ice.eu

@oceaniceeu.bsky.social 's record of water mass age and meltwater fractions covers noble gases like helium & neon as well as human-made gases.

Open Data:
1️⃣ Boosts Citations, Impact & Credibility– Studies show a robust, long-term citation impact
2️⃣ Saves Research Time (& Money!)– No more hunting through scattered repositories
3️⃣ Supports Collaboration
4️⃣ Backbone of Climate Policy–Transparent & enables multi-model comparison

#SOOS_DATAMonday: 2x🤔 Think twice before publishing! 📊 Only ~50% of datasets in Nature & Science were readily accessible in 2019

Why open data matters in a field where stakes are high & datasets are complex and costly to obtain #ClimateChange #PolarScience?

Upcoming April is officially #SOOSmap_Month!🌐

Every Monday will be a #SOOS_DATAMonday dedicated to exploring the power of soosmap.aq! 🗺️✨

Explore cutting-edge data, SOOSmap features, & how to make the most of this powerful tool.

Stay tuned and see you in April!

SOOSmap.aq not only makes it easy to access data from different sources…

…but also from different decades!

The Southern Ocean moored time series compiled by @oceaniceeu.bsky.social provides data since 1975!

Access temp, salinity & current velocity.
