  abstract:
    en: This dataset consists of the Surface Ocean CO2 Atlas (SOCAT) data product
      files. SOCAT is a synthesis activity by the international marine carbon research
      community and has more than 100 contributors worldwide. SOCAT provides access
      to synthesis and gridded, quality controlled, observational products of surface
      ocean fCO2 (fugacity of carbon dioxide) for the global oceans and coastal seas.
      SOCAT version 2020 has 28.2 million quality-controlled surface ocean fCO2 (fugacity
      of CO2) observations with an estimated accuracy of better than 5 μatm and a
      WOCE flag of 2 (good) from 1957 to 2020 for the global oceans and coastal seas.
      In addition, 2.3 million values with an estimated accuracy of 5 to 10 μatm are
      available. During quality control, marine scientists assign a flag to each data
      set, as well as WOCE flags of 2 (good), 3 (questionable) or 4 (bad) to individual
      fCO2 values. Data sets are assigned flags of A and B for an accuracy of better
      than 2 μatm, flags of C and D for an accuracy of better than 5 μatm and a flag
      of E for an accuracy of better than 10 μatm. Bakker et al. (2016) describe the
      quality control criteria used in SOCAT versions 3, 4, 5, 6, 2019 and 2020. Quality
      control comments for individual data sets can be accessed via the SOCAT Data
      Set Viewer. All data sets, where data quality has been deemed acceptable, have
      been made public. The main SOCAT synthesis files and the gridded products contain
      all data sets with an estimated accuracy of better than 5 µatm (flags of A to
      D) and fCO2 values with a flag of 2. Access to data sets with an estimated accuracy
      of 5 to 10 (flag of E) and fCO2 values with flags of 3 and 4 is via additional
      data products and the Data Set Viewer (Table 8 in Bakker et al., 2016). SOCAT
      publishes a global gridded product with a 1° longitude by 1° latitude resolution.
      A second product with a higher resolution of 0.25° longitude by 0.25° latitude
      is available for the coastal seas. Gridded products are available monthly, per
      year and per decade. Two powerful, interactive, online viewers, the Data Set
      Viewer and the Gridded Data Viewer (www.socat.info), enable investigation of
      the SOCAT synthesis and gridded data products. SOCAT data products can be downloaded.
      Matlab code is available at www.socat.info for reading these files. Ocean Data
      View also provides access to the SOCAT data products (www.socat.info). SOCAT
      data products are discoverable, accessible and citable. SOCAT versions 3 to
      2020 should be cited as Bakker et al., 2016 (until a publication on versions
      4 to 2020 is published). The SOCAT Data Use Statement (www.socat.info) asks
      users to generously acknowledge the contribution of SOCAT scientists by invitation
      to co-authorship, especially for data providers in regional studies, and/or
      reference to relevant scientific articles. The SOCAT website (www.socat.info)
      provides a single access point for online viewers, downloadable data sets, the
      Data Use Statement, a list of contributors and an overview of scientific publications
      on and using SOCAT. Automation of data upload and initial data checks allows
      annual releases of SOCAT from version 4 onwards. SOCAT enables quantification
      of the ocean carbon sink and ocean acidification, as well as evaluation of sensor
      data and ocean biogeochemical models. More than 329 peer-reviewed scientific
      publications and 80 high-impact reports cite SOCAT. SOCAT represents a milestone
      in biogeochemical and climate research. SOCAT informs policy and high-profile
      climate negotiations. Maintenance and annual updates of the SOCAT product require
      sustained funding and community involvement.
