Temperature and irradiance from outdoor flumes at the UCB Gump Research Station Moorea, French Polynesia from November of 2015 to March of 2016

Abstract:

This dataset contains temperature and irradiance from outdoor flumes at the UCB Gump Research Station Moorea, French Polynesia. These measurements were taken during an experiment designed to measure coral reef community metabolism responses to ocean acidification over a 4-month period from November 13th, 2015 to March 15th, 2016. These data were published in Carpenter et al. (2018).

Methods & Sampling

See Carpenter et al. (2018) for a detailed overview of the methodology of the experiment designed to measure coral reef community metabolism responses to ocean acidification over a 4-month period from November 13th, 2015 to March 15th, 2016 in outdoor flumes at the UCB Gump Research Station Moorea, French Polynesia.

Physical data:
Throughout the experiment and in all flumes, logging sensors (sampling every 30 min) recorded PAR (using cosine-corrected PAR loggers, Dataflow Systems Ltd, Christchurch, New Zealand), and temperature [Hobo Pro v2 ( 0.2 C), Onset Computer Corp., Bourne, MA].

Community composition:
~ 25% coral cover, comprised of 11% cover of massive Porites spp., 7% Porites rus, 4% Montipora spp. and 3% Pocillopora spp. There was ~ 7% cover of crustose coralline algae (CCA), with 4% Porolithon onkodes and 3% Lithophyllum kotschyanum, and ~ 5% cover of small pieces (i.e., ~ 1-cm diameter) of coral rubble (Fig. S2, Carpenter et al., 2018)."

Data Processing Description

BCO-DMO Data Manager Processing Notes:
* Data submitted as sheet "carbonate chemistry" in original excel file exported as csv with the values of the cells but not the formatting that was set in Excel (see following date issue).
* Date format changed from dd-mmm (e.g. 13-Nov) to yyyy-mm-dd (e.g. 2015-11-13). The year was captured but not displayed in Excel, years confirmed with the submitter.
* added a conventional header with dataset name, PI name, version date
* modified parameter names to conform with BCO-DMO naming conventions
* blank values in this dataset are displayed as "nd" for "no data." nd is the default missing data identifier in the BCO-DMO system.
* Temperature and Irradiance values rounded from 13 decimal places to three.

Instruments

Photosynthetically Available Radiation Sensor

Supplied Name:

Supplied Description:

PAR (using cosine-corrected PAR loggers, Dataflow Systems Ltd, Christchurch, New Zealand)

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Photosynthetically Available Radiation Sensor

Acronym: PAR sensor

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/122/

Generic Description:

A PAR sensor measures photosynthetically available (or active) radiation. The sensor measures photon flux density (photons per second per square meter) within the visible wavelength range (typically 400 to 700 nanometers). PAR gives an indication of the total energy available to plants for photosynthesis. This instrument name is used when specific type, make and model are not known.

Temperature Logger

Supplied Name: Hobo Pro v2

Supplied Description:

Hobo Pro v2 ( 0.2 C), Onset Computer Corp., Bourne, MA.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Temperature Logger

Generic Description:

Records temperature data over a period of time.
