Description

pCO2 and temperature recorded from 2018-2020 from a sensor array that measures pH, pCO2, temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll, turbidity, and current velocity at Friday Harbor Laboratories Ocean Observatory (FHLOO).

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

Data are collected from a Sunburst SAMI-pCO2 deployed at a floating dock at ~2-3 m water depth located at the University of Washington Friday Harbor Laboratories, Friday Harbor, WA (Lat = 48.5461, Long = -123.007). This dataset contains values of pCO2, the partial pressure of CO2 in seawater, reported in parts per million (ppm), and water temperature reported in degrees Celsius.

Data Processing Description

Dataset Processing Description

BCO-DMO Processing:
- concatenated separate data files (.txt) into one;
- added ISO 8601 date/time format;
- added latitude and longitude as columns; values originally provided in dataset metadata.

Instruments

Submersible Autonomous Moored Instrument

Supplied Name: Sunburst SAMI-pCO2

Supplied Description:

Sunburst SAMI-pCO2 (pCO2 and temperature)

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Submersible Autonomous Moored Instrument

Acronym: SAMI

Generic Description:

The Submersible Autonomous Moored Instrument (SAMI) measures and logs levels of dissolved chemicals in sea and fresh water. It is a plastic cylinder about 6 inches wide and 2 feet long that is self-powered and capable of hourly measurements for up to one year. All data collected are logged to an internal memory chip to be downloaded later. SAMI sensors usually are placed a few feet underwater on permanent moorings, while others on floating drifters sample the water wherever the wind and currents carry them. The instruments have been used by researchers around the globe in a variety of studies since 1999. Dr. Mike DeGrandpre, University of Montana, developed the SAMI between 1990 and 1993 during his postdoctoral work at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (Woods Hole, MA, USA).
