Description

Discrete carbonate chemistry samples from Whiskey Creek Shellfish Hatchery 2009. Barton et al. 2012 contains all information on data collection, analytical procedures, and uncertainties.

For more information, refer to:
Barton, A., Hales, B., Waldbusser, G.G., Langdon, C., & Feely, R.A. 2009. The Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas, shows negative correlation to naturally elevated carbon dioxide levels: Implications for near-term ocean acidification effects. Limnol. Oceanogr., 57(3), 698-710. doi: 10.4319/lo.2012.57.3.0698

Methods & Sampling

Sampling and analytical methods are included in Barton et al. 2012. omega_A and pH_tot are calculated from measured PCO2 and TCO2 as noted in paper. Analytical uncertainty in these values are estimated at 5% in omega_A and 0.02 in pH_tot.

Data Processing Description

Saturation state (omega_A) and pH are calculated values from thermodynamic relationships outlined in Barton et al. 2012.

BCO-DMO edits made:
- modified parameter names to conform with BCO-DMO naming conventions;
- calculated month, day, and time using year and julian_day values.
