Net carbonate production rates for Palau and Yap coral reefs from kriging

Abstract:

As part of the reef-composition survey of Palau (7°30' N, 134°30' E) and Yap (9°32' N, 138°7' E), the rates of carbonate flux were estimated using rates of accretion and biological erosion. The initial model output containing estimates of carbonate production and erosion was used in subsequent R scripts and models.

Description

This model and results were published in van Woesik and Cacciapaglia, 2018. The model package model.zip contains model inputs, R-language scripts, shapefiles, and model documentation files. model.zip (2.8 MB) Model output is available by clicking the "Get Data" link on this page. The "Parameters" section of this page documents the model output column names, descriptions, and units. The input for this model is fully described and accessible from the following dataset landing pages. The original version of these input data as submitted to BCO-DMO are included in the model.zip package provided here. Please refer to the "Processing" section on each dataset landing page below to view the changes made from the original to the final version served.

Methods & Sampling

All of the estimates are outputs from the carbonate-production model, these methods can be found within the manuscript along with the equations required to produce the output (van Woesik & Cacciapaglia, 2018).

Data Processing Description

Data Manager Processing Notes: * Input filenames did not match the names called in the model code. Data submitter provided a list of filenames called in the R scripts and the names the files were submitted to BCO-DMO as. Code modified to call filenames as submitted to BCO-DMO. * code modified to relative paths from full hard-coded paths. * file dependencies (shapefiles, etc) provided by data submitter were added to model.zip package. * model output values rounded (lat, lon to five decimal places; NP, GP to three decimal places and BFj, BUj to six decimal places). * Model output for Yap and Palau combined into one dataset with added column "Country" containing values Yap or Palau.
