In situ dissolved oxygen of experimental chambers and ambient sensors acquired in the shallow subtidal shore-accessible site in Bon Secour Bay, Mobile Bay, Alabama, USA between August 7-12, 2021

Abstract:

This dataset is part of a field study examining the effect of diel oxygen cycling on faunal activity, and in turn sediment oxygen demand. The field experiment used in situ flow-through benthic chambers to measure oxygen consumption, as described in the methods paper Gadeken et al 2023. The chambers were deployed and retrieved in three ~24 hour deployments in a shallow subtidal area of Bon Secour Bay in Mobile Bay, AL, in August 2021. This dataset contains streamlined data from the HOBO dissolved oxygen (DO) loggers and the log time of when the chamber system flushes the overlying water in the chamber and starts a new incubation.

Methods & Sampling

The chambers were deployed and retrieved in three ~24 hour deployments in a shallow subtidal area of Bon Secour Bay in Mobile Bay, AL, in August 2021.

These data are streamlined data from the HOBO dissolved oxygen (DO) loggers combined with the log the time of each occasion when the chamber system flushes the overlying water in the chamber and starts a new incubation.

Upon completion of the 24 hour deployment, the chambers were extracted and oxygen data offloaded from the chamber loggers.

Instruments

benthic incubation chamber

Supplied Name:

Supplied Description:

This project used a custom built field deployable benthic chamber system. Construction and functioning of the system are outlined in Gadeken et al 2023 L&O:Methods.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: benthic incubation chamber

Generic Description:

A device that isolates a portion of seabed plus overlying water from its surroundings. Either returns the entire system to the surface or incorporates sampling devices and/or in-situ sensors.
