SOCAT+USV sampling masks for ML reconstruction of surface ocean pCO2 using the Large Ensemble Testbed

Here we provide sampling masks used in the study "Assessing improvements in global ocean pCO2 machine learning reconstructions with Southern Ocean autonomous sampling" (Heimdal et al., 2023, https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-2023-160). In this paper, we reconstruct surface ocean pCO2 using the Large Ensemble Testbed (Gloege et al., 2021, https://doi.org/10.1029/2020GB006788) and the pCO2-Residual method (Bennington et al., 2022, https://doi.org/10.1029/2021MS002960). We provide 11 different sampling masks that correspond to the experiments presented in Heimdal et al. (2023), which include different sampling patterns of USV Saildrones in the Southern Ocean (SOCAT+USV sampling).
