Description

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

Temperature collections in “hybrid zone” at 0.6m of water were collected using a Hobo Pendant Temperature/Light Data Logger UA-002-64 with +/- 0.53 degrees C accuracy. Data collected in the parental zones at 1.5-2m feet of water were collected with Hobo Pro v2 Data Logger U22-001 with +/- 0.2 degrees C accuracy.

Data Processing Description

Dataset Processing Description

BCO-DMO Processing notes:
- added conventional header with dataset name, PI name, version date
- modified parameter names to conform with BCO-DMO naming conventions
- re-formatted date from m/d/yyyy to yyyy-mm-dd
- replaced spaces with underscores
- converted latitude and longitude to decimal degrees
- added columns for ISO_DateTime and yearday
