Takahashi, T., S.C. Sutherland, and A. Kozyr. 2011. Global Ocean Surface Water Partial Pressure of CO2 Database: 
Measurements Performed During 1957-2010 (Version 2010). ORNL/CDIAC-159, NDP-088(V2010). Carbon Dioxide Information 
Analysis Center, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, U.S. Department of Energy, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, doi: 10.3334/CDIAC/otg.ndp088(V2010).

Approximately 5.2 million measurements of surface water partial pressure of CO2 obtained over the global oceans during 1957-2010 are listed 
in the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO) database, which includes open ocean and coastal water measurements. The data assembled include 
only those measured by equilibrator-CO2 analyzer systems and have been quality-controlled based on the stability of the system performance, 
the reliability of calibrations for CO2 analysis, and the internal consistency of data. To allow re-examination of the data in the future, 
a number of measured parameters relevant to pCO2 measurements are listed. The overall uncertainty for the pCO2 values listed is estimated 
to be +/- 2.5 uatm on the average.

For simplicity and for ease of reference, this version is referred to as V2010, meaning that data collected through 31 December 2010 has 
been included. It is our intention to update this database annually. In this update, 21 new cruise/ship files are added to the previous 
version V2009.

The data presented in this database include the analyses of partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2), sea surface temperature (SST), sea surface 
salinity (SSS), pressure and temperature of the equilibration, and barometric pressure in the outside air from the ship’s observation 
system. A minor equilibration temperature problem has been corrected in the R/V Laurence M. Gould data for 2010.
