The Surface Ocean CO 2 Atlas (SOCAT) is a synthesis of quality-controlled f CO 2 (fugacity of carbon dioxide) values for the global surface oceans and coastal seas with regular updates. Version 3 of SOCAT has 14.7 million f CO 2 values from 3646 data sets covering the years 1957 to 2014. This latest...
