Published empirical algorithms for oceanic total alkalinity (TA) and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) are used with monthly sea surface salinity (SSS) and temperature (SST) derived from satellite (SMOS, Aquarius, SST CCI) and interpolated in situ (CORA) measurements and climatological (WOA) ancillary data to produce monthly maps of TA and DIC at one degree spatial resolution. Earth system model TA and DIC (HADGEM2-ES) are also included. Results are compared with in situ (GLODAPv2) TA and DIC and results analysed in five regions (global, Greater Caribbean, Amazon plume, Amazon plume with in situ SSS < 35 and Bay of Bengal). Results are presented in three versions, denoted by 'X' in the lists below: using all available data (X = ''); excluding data with bathymetry < 500m (X = 'Depth500'); excluding data with both bathymetry < 500m and distance from nearest coast < 300 km (X = 'Depth500Dist300').Datasets S1 to S5 are .csv lists of matchups in each region - date and location, in situ TA and DIC ... : Supplement to: Land, Peter Edward; Findlay, Helen S; Shutler, Jamie D; Ashton, Ian G C; Holding, Thomas; Grouazel, Antoine; Girard-Ardhuin, Fanny; Reul, Nicolas; Piolle, Jean-Francois; Chapron, Bertrand; Quilfen, Yves; Bellerby, Richard G J; Bhadury, Punyasloke; Salisbury, Joseph; Vandemark, Douglas C; Sabia, Roberto (2019): Optimum satellite remote sensing of the marine carbonate system using empirical algorithms in the global ocean, the Greater Caribbean, the Amazon Plume and the Bay of Bengal.
