Temperature data from SeaBird SBE56 sensors deployed at various depths on instrument moorings inside and outside of kelp forests near the Monterey Peninsula, California, USA from June to August 2018 and 2019

Abstract:

These data are from SeaBird SBE56 sensors recording at 1-minute intervals deployed at various depths on instrument moorings from June to August in 2018 and 2019. Moorings were located inside and outside of kelp forests near the Monterey Peninsula, California, USA.

Methods & Sampling

Sampling Locations:
Sampling was conducted near the Monterey Peninsula near Pacific Grove and Monterey, California, USA. Kelp sites ranged from 8.8 to 10.3 meters deep and offshore sites ranged from 13.1 to 16.5 m deep.

Instrument moorings were deployed in 2018 in the following areas: a wave-protected kelp forest, ~100 meters offshore of the protected site, in a wave-exposed site devoid of kelp (historically has had kelp), and ~100 meters offshore of the exposed site.

Instrument moorings were deployed in 2019 in the following areas: a wave-protected kelp forest, ~175 meters offshore of the protected site, in a wave-exposed kelp site, and ~180 meters offshore of the exposed site.

Location Abbreviations:
PK = Protected kelp 2018,
PO = Protected offshore 2018,
EK = Exposed ‘kelp’ 2018,
EO = Exposed offshore 2018,
MK = Protected kelp 2019,
MO = Protected offshore 2019,
OK = exposed kelp 2019,
OO = Exposed offshore 2019.

Methodology:
In 2018, SeaBird SBE56 sensors were deployed at PK at 2 and 5 meters above the bottom, at PO at 4 and 10 meters above the bottom, at EK at 2 and 4 meters above the bottom, and at EO at 4 and 10 meters above the bottom. In 2019, instruments were deployed at MK at 2 and 6 meters above the bottom, at MO at 2 to 6 and 9 to 13 meters above the bottom, at OK at 2 and 6 meters above the bottom, and at OO at 4 and 11 meters above the bottom. The SBE56 were calibrated on 14 April, 2018.

Data Processing Description

Data Processing:
Data were processed using R software version 1.4.1717 to exclude data outside of deployment time.

BCO-DMO Processing:
- converted local date to ISO8601 format;
- created the ISO8601 date-time field in UTC.

Instruments

Sea-Bird SBE 56 temperature recorder

Supplied Name: SBE 56

Supplied Description:

SBE 56 calibrated on 14 April, 2018

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Sea-Bird SBE 56 temperature recorder

Acronym: SBE56

Generic Description:

This is a small (30 cm by 2.54 cm diameter) high-accuracy, battery-powered temperature and time logger capable of sampling intervals from 0.5 seconds to 9 hours. Temperature is measured by a pressure-protected (1500m depth) thermistor. Initial accuracy is 0.002C and drift is typically less than 0.002C per year.

Parameters

Date and time formats are described in python strftime() syntax.
