Description

Thirty day time series of average daily phytoplankton concentration in rip currents at Sand City, CA (36.615760 degrees N, 121.85485 degrees W).

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

From 15 June to 15 July 2010, the investigators sampled phytoplankton within the Sand City surf zone at about low tide each day. Within the surf zone, swimmers collected replicate (n=3) 1 L water samples from a depth of about 1 m by filling a sample jar. The investigators assumed that due to the turbulence of the surf zone that there was no vertical stratification of the phytoplankton. Samples were preserved in acid Lugols. Phytoplankton were identified to genus and counted on Sedgwick Rafter slides using standard techniques (Sournia 1978).

Data Processing Description

Dataset Processing Description

Three samples were collected each day within the rip currents. Counts from the microscopic analysis of the samples were converted to number per liter and the average and 95% confidence interval for each daily set of samples were calculated.

BCO-DMO Processing:
- Re-formatted date, and added separate columns for month, day, year, and year-day.
- Added column containing site name.
- Added lat and lon (from metadata form).
- Modified parameter names to conform with BCO-DMO naming conventions.
