Rust, Rebecca; Tortell, Philippe Daniel: Spatial continuous measurements of surface water N2O and CH4 around Vancouver Island, British Columbia [dataset]. PANGAEA, https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.992547 (dataset in review)
Abstract:
This dataset contains spatial measurements of surface water nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4) concentrations around Vancouver Island, BC during summer 2024. This data was collected using an automated, high-frequency measurement system. The system consisted of a gas extraction module connected to an off-axis integrated cavity output spectrometer (OA-ICOS) gas analyzer. We conducted the spatial survey along the island's east and west coasts.
