pH Data from shoreside Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf (SCW-2013) in 2013 (SoCalPlumeEx2012 project)

Expand/Collapse All

Description

Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf Shore Station
36deg 57'38.3""N 122deg01'13.1""W
YSI 6600v2 Sonde: Temperature, Salinity
Satlantic SeaFET: Internal pH, External pH, Temperature
Fixed intake depth, approx. 1 m

Methods & Sampling

Sampling and Analytical Methodology:
Fixed shore station with pumped seawater from ~1 m depth; YSI 6600v2 sonde and Satlantic SeaFET in the flow through, sampling at 5 minute intervals. Instruments configured/deployed as per manufacturer recommendations. pH from the SeaFET was compared to discrete measurements analyzed by Andrew Dickson’s laboratory (SIO). Calibration curve applied to the data.

Data Processing Description

Data Processing:
Obvious outliers were removed; missing data replaced with -999. Pre- and post-deployment calibration applied to salinity and pH data.

Discrete samples (used for calibration) and continuous data submitted to the SWAMP and CEDEN databases: http://www.ceden.org

Instruments

SeapHOx/SeaFET

Supplied Description:

Satlantic SeaFET: Internal pH, External pH, Temperature

Instrument Type

Generic Name: SeapHOx/SeaFET

Generic Description:

The SeapHOx and SeaFET are autonomous sensors originally designed and developed by the Todd Martz Lab at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The SeaFET was designed to measure pH and temperature. The SeapHOx, designed later, combined the SeaFET with additional integrated sensors for dissolved oxygen and conductivity. Refer to Martz et al. 2010 (doi:10.4319/lom.2010.8.172).

The SeapHOx package is now produced by Sea-Bird Scientific and allows for integrated data collection of pH, temperature, salinity, and oxygen. Refer to Sea-Bird for specific model information.

YSI Sonde 6-Series

Supplied Description:

YSI 6600v2 Sonde: Temperature, Salinity

Instrument Type

Generic Name: YSI Sonde 6-Series

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0737/

Generic Description:

YSI 6-Series water quality sondes and sensors are instruments for environmental monitoring and long-term deployments. YSI datasondes accept multiple water quality sensors (i.e., they are multiparameter sondes). Sondes can measure temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, depth, turbidity, and other water quality parameters. The 6-Series includes several models. More from YSI.
