The model was constructed using 7188 in situ data provided by the 'Surface Ocean CO2 ATlas' (SOCAT) products, and the 'EC-funded project CARBOOCEAN IP program' products, available for the years 2001, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2007, and 2009. The model was tested using remote sensing data of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer Aqua. This approach was validated over the area extending from 8 degrees N-61 degrees W to 23 degrees N-20 degrees W. A comparison with multiple linear regression model was established. The neural network has provided better results (root mean square error (RMSE) of 8.7 atm (0.881 Pa)) than linear regression (RMSE of 9.6 atm (0.973 Pa)) for f (CO2sw) interpolation using remote sensing data. Since the required input data are available, this approach could be applied to the whole tropical Atlantic Ocean and for the remaining seasons (summer, fall, and winter). %$ 032 ; 126
