Dataset: Bermuda Structural Equation Modeling Data

Data represented is either monthly averages for columns with 'nd' for day or as contemporaneous as daily as possible for columns with a date for the day column. Chl-a data is from the 4-km-resolution Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer chlorophyll a product. Temperature and light were measured on the benthos at each location using HOBO Temperature and Light loggers (i.e. see accompanying temperature and light dataset). Salinity was aggregated from surface YSI Multimeter and Autosalinometer measurements (i.e. see accompanying carbonate chemistry dataset). Omega, pHsw, and CO2 were calculated from measured TA, DIC, temperature, and salinity (i.e. from accompanying carbonate chemistry dataset) using the program CO2SYS with the K1 and K2 dissociation constants from Mehrbach et al. (1973) refit by Dickson and Millero (1987), KHSO4 from Dickson (1990), and pH on the seawater scale. Nutrients_PC1 is the principal components axis 1 from the measured NH4, NiO2+NiO3, SiO4 (see Carbonate Chemistry and Light Dataset: http://lod.bco-dmo.org/id/dataset/719535). Porites and Dlab are %/day mean calcification rates interpolated to monthly means from 24 colonies of each species per reef location (i.e. see accompanying coral calcification dataset). NEC is net ecosystem calcification calculated for Hog Reef utilizing the change in seawater TA relative to offshore over a given reference time and seawater depth. Please see Courtney et al. (2017) for a complete description of methods.
