Description

Continuous carbonate chemistry data from Whiskey Creek Shellfish Hatchery 2009. Barton et al. 2012 contains all information on data collection, analytical procedures, and uncertainties.

For more information, refer to:
Barton, A., Hales, B., Waldbusser, G.G., Langdon, C., & Feely, R.A. 2009. The Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas, shows negative correlation to naturally elevated carbon dioxide levels: Implications for near-term ocean acidification effects. Limnol. Oceanogr., 57(3), 698-710. doi: 10.4319/lo.2012.57.3.0698

Methods & Sampling

Sampling and Analytical methods included in Barton et al. 2012. Instrument used: Yellow Springs Instruments (YSI) 6000 EDS sonde. Temperature and salinity are directly from instrument. pH_tot is corrected from pHNBS as described in paper. Saturation state is then computed from correlation with pHtotal as noted in Barton et al. 2012. Instrument specifications indicate an accuracy of ± 0.2 pH units and a precision of ± 0.01 pH units. As noted in paper, instrument performance is checked against discrete samples.

Data Processing Description

pH and saturation state (omega_A) are calculated as noted above and within Barton et al. 2012.

BCO-DMO edits made:
- modified parameter names to conform with BCO-DMO naming conventions;
- calculated month, day, and time using year and julian_day values;
- replaced 'NAN' with 'nd' to indicate 'no data'.

Instruments

YSI Sonde 6-Series

Supplied Description:

pH was recorded by an in situ Yellow Springs Instruments (YSI) 6000 EDS sonde.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: YSI Sonde 6-Series

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0737/

Generic Description:

YSI 6-Series water quality sondes and sensors are instruments for environmental monitoring and long-term deployments. YSI datasondes accept multiple water quality sensors (i.e., they are multiparameter sondes). Sondes can measure temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, depth, turbidity, and other water quality parameters. The 6-Series includes several models. More from YSI.
