©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.This dataset contains temperature and irradiance from outdoor flumes at the UCB Gump Research Station Moorea, French Polynesia. These measurements were taken during an experiment designed to measure coral reef community metabolism responses to ocean acidification over a 4-month period from November 13th, 2015 to March 15th, 2016. These data were published in Carpenter et al. (2018).
See Carpenter et al. (2018) for a detailed overview of the methodology of the experiment designed to measure coral reef community metabolism responses to ocean acidification over a 4-month period from November 13th, 2015 to March 15th, 2016 in outdoor flumes at the UCB Gump Research Station Moorea, French Polynesia.
Physical data:
Throughout the experiment and in all flumes, logging sensors (sampling every 30 min) recorded PAR (using cosine-corrected PAR loggers, Dataflow Systems Ltd, Christchurch, New Zealand), and temperature [Hobo Pro v2 ( 0.2 C), Onset Computer Corp., Bourne, MA].
Community composition:
~ 25% coral cover, comprised of 11% cover of massive Porites spp., 7% Porites rus, 4% Montipora spp. and 3% Pocillopora spp. There was ~ 7% cover of crustose coralline algae (CCA), with 4% Porolithon onkodes and 3% Lithophyllum kotschyanum, and ~ 5% cover of small pieces (i.e., ~ 1-cm diameter) of coral rubble (Fig. S2, Carpenter et al., 2018)."
