Methods & Sampling

Temperature was measured with an Onset Corp. HOBO U22 temperature logger, calibrated in an isothermal bath before deployment to achieve accuracy of 0.1 degree C. The temperature logger was deployed at 1-10 meters water depth (see data) on a buoy 1 meter above the seafloor.

Data Processing Description

BCO-DMO processing:
- Modified format of date/time UTC field; created separate columns for month, day, year, and time.
- Add location name, latitude, and longitude from PI-provided metadata form.
- 18 April 2017: Dataset was updated to included data from 4 additional sites. Original dataset (version date 22-June-2015) included data from only 1 site. Water depth column was also added to the data.
