Interannual variability (IAV) in the atmospheric CO 2 growth rate is caused by variation in the balance between uptake by land and ocean and accumulation of anthropogenic emissions in the atmosphere. While variations in terrestrial fluxes are thought to drive most of the observed atmospheric CO 2 IAV, the ability to characterize ocean impacts has been limited by the fact that most sites in the surface CO2 monitoring network ar...

Quantifying carbon fluxes into and out of coastal soils is critical to meeting greenhouse gas reduction and coastal resiliency goals. Numerous ‘blue carbon’ studies have generated, or benefitted from, synthetic datasets. However, the community those efforts inspired does not have a centralized, standardized database of disaggregated data used to estimate carbon stocks and fluxes. In this paper, we describe a data structure des...

We present a time series of data for temperature, salinity, nitrate, and carbonate chemistry from September 2011 to July 2013 at the University of Washington's Friday Harbor Laboratories. Samples were collected at the Friday Harbor dock and pump house. Seawater conditions at Friday Harbor were high nitrate‐low chlorophyll, with average nitrate and pCO 2 concentrations of ∼ 25 ± 5 μ mol L −1 and ∼ 700 ± 103 μ atm (pH 7.80 ± 0.0...
