Expand/Collapse All

Description

This dataset includes pH, dissolved oxygen, temperature, and salinity values from seaphox sensor deployments at 1-8 m depths in shallow reefs in Bocas del Toro, Panama.

Methods & Sampling

Seaphox sensors were deployed at shallow coral reefs off of the island of Bocas del Toro at the following locations:

Punta Caracol (PC) Lat 9.3779, Lon -82.3034
Deployment names: PC 1m, PC 3m, PC 8m, PC 12m

Punta Vieja (PV) Lat 9.2478, Lon -82.1129
Deployment names: PV 3m, PV 8m

Data Processing Description

Seaphox sensors were calibrated from discrete seawater samples taken in the field at the time the Seaphox sensors were deployed using best practices described in Bresnahan et al. 2014.

BCO-DMO Data Manager Processing Notes
* added location names and lat lons for deployments
* splitting timestamp into date and time
* After discussion with data contributor:
* Changed name Date and Time to Date_local and Time_local for date and time in Panama local time, UTC -05:00.
* Added timestamp in ISO 8601 Notation yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm+|-hh:mm so the time zone is captured
* Removed color formatting from Excel spreadsheet and comments

Supplied Name: Seaphox, Scripps Institution of oceanography

Supplied Description:

Seaphox, Scripps Institution of oceanography, Model number 038, 039, 054 and 055

Instrument Type

Generic Name: SeapHOx/SeaFET

Generic Description:

The SeapHOx and SeaFET are autonomous sensors originally designed and developed by the Todd Martz Lab at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The SeaFET was designed to measure pH and temperature. The SeapHOx, designed later, combined the SeaFET with additional integrated sensors for dissolved oxygen and conductivity. Refer to Martz et al. 2010 (doi:10.4319/lom.2010.8.172).

The SeapHOx package is now produced by Sea-Bird Scientific and allows for integrated data collection of pH, temperature, salinity, and oxygen. Refer to Sea-Bird for specific model information.
