Coral pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) throughout a heat temperature study conducted in aquaria at Brewer’s Bay, St. Thomas, The U.S. Virgin Islands in June of 2017

Abstract:

Coral pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) throughout a heat temperature study conducted in aquaria at Brewer’s Bay, St. Thomas, The U.S. Virgin Islands in June of 2017. The coral species used in the experiments were Orbicella faveolata and Porites astreoides.

Methods & Sampling

Location: Brewer’s Bay (18.34403, -64.98435), St. Thomas, The U.S. Virgin Islands

PAM recorded twice a day in the mid morning and mid afternoon.

Data Processing Description

BCO-DMO Data Manager Processing notes:
* Data submitted in file "Caspase 2 PAM Data Submission.xlsx" sheet 1 extracted to csv
* Time format altered so it can be described accurately. A space added between "A" or "P" and an "M" added to each values so for example "10:12A" changed to "10:12 AM"
* An additional column added to the dataset for the ISO Date Time in ISO 8601 format in UTC time using date and time provided in local time zone "Atlantic Standard Time (GMT-4)"

Fluorometer

Supplied Name: Diving Pulse amplitude modulation (Diving PAM)

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Fluorometer

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/113/

Generic Description:

A fluorometer or fluorimeter is a device used to measure parameters of fluorescence: its intensity and wavelength distribution of emission spectrum after excitation by a certain spectrum of light. The instrument is designed to measure the amount of stimulated electromagnetic radiation produced by pulses of electromagnetic radiation emitted into a water sample or in situ.
