Carbonate chemistry from outdoor flume experiments with coral Acropora hyacinthus at the UCB Gump Research Station Moorea, French Polynesia in September and October of 2012

Abstract:

Carbonate chemistry from outdoor flumes at the UCB Gump Research Station Moorea, French Polynesia in September and October of 2012. These data were collected as part of a study of investigating how diel pCO2 oscillations modulate the response of the coral Acropora hyacinthus to ocean acidification. See Comeau et al. (2014) for details of this study.

Methods & Sampling

Seawater pH was measured at 07:00 h and 19:00 h in each tank, using a pH meter (Orion, 3-stars mobile coupled with a Mettler DG 115-SC pH electrode) calibrated every 2 d on the total scale using Tris/HCl buffers (Dickson).

Parameters of the carbonate system were calculated from salinity, temperature, AT, and pHT using the R package seacarb (Lavigne and Gattuso 2011).

Refer to publication Comeau et al. (2014) for more details.

Data Processing Description

BCO-DMO Data Manager Processing Notes:
* Data submitted as sheet "Carbonate chemistry" in original excel file "Calcifcation_data_MEPS_2014.xlsx" exported as csv with the formatting that was set in Excel.
* added a conventional header with dataset name, PI name, version date
* modified parameter names to conform with BCO-DMO naming conventions: only A-Za-z0-9 and underscore allowed. Can not start with a number. (spaces, +, and - changed to underscores).
* Date converted to ISO 8601 format yyyy-mm-dd
