  abstract = {{T}he {S}urface {O}cean {CO}2 {A}tlas ({SOCAT}) is a synthesis of quality-controlled f{CO}(2) (fugacity of carbon dioxide) values for the global surface oceans and coastal seas with regular updates. {V}ersion 3 of {SOCAT} has 14.7 million f{CO}(2) values from 3646 data sets covering the years 1957 to 2014. {T}his latest version has an additional 4.6 million f{CO}(2) values relative to version 2 and extends the record from 2011 to 2014. {V}ersion 3 also significantly increases the data availability for 2005 to 2013. {SOCAT} has an average of approximately 1.2 million surface water f{CO}(2) values per year for the years 2006 to 2012. {Q}uality and documentation of the data has improved. {A} new feature is the data set quality control ({QC}) flag of {E} for data from alternative sensors and platforms. {T}he accuracy of surface water f{CO}(2) has been defined for all data set {QC} flags. {A}utomated range checking has been carried out for all data sets during their upload into {SOCAT}. {T}he upgrade of the interactive {D}ata {S}et {V}iewer (previously known as the {C}ruise {D}ata {V}iewer) allows better interrogation of the {SOCAT} data collection and rapid creation of high-quality figures for scientific presentations. {A}utomated data upload has been launched for version 4 and will enable more frequent {SOCAT} releases in the future. {H}igh-profile scientific applications of {SOCAT} include quantification of the ocean sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide and its long-term variation, detection of ocean acidification, as well as evaluation of coupled-climate and ocean-only biogeochemical models. {U}sers of {SOCAT} data products are urged to acknowledge the contribution of data providers, as stated in the {SOCAT} {F}air {D}ata {U}se {S}tatement. {T}his {ESSD} ({E}arth {S}ystem {S}cience {D}ata) "living data" publication documents the methods and data sets used for the assembly of this new version of the {SOCAT} data collection and compares these with those used for earlier versions of the data collection ({P}feil et al., 2013; {S}abine et al., 2013; {B}akker et al., 2014).{I}ndividual data set files, included in the synthesis product, can be downloaded here: doi:10.1594/{PANGAEA}.849770. {T}he gridded products are available here: doi: 10.3334/{CDIAC}/{OTG}.{SOCAT}_{V}3_{GRID}.},
