Abstract

The ocean acidification diel suite is an autonomous instrument package that measures diel variability in coral reef seawater carbonate chemistry. Diel suite surveys are conducted by the NOAA Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC), Ecosystem Sciences Division (ESD) within coral reef ecosystems across the Pacific Islands Region as part of the NOAA National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP). The data provided in this data set are from diel suites deployed during ESD-led missions at select sites in the Pacific Remote Island Areas. Diel surveys were conducted during NCRMP missions aboard NOAA Ship Hi'ialakai at Jarvis Island, Kingman Reef, and Palmyra Atoll from April 11-28, 2015 and again at Jarvis from April 2-6, 2017. Diel surveys were also conducted at Jarvis in collaboration with Anne Cohen’s lab at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution during a special post-bleaching mission aboard NOAA Ship Oscar Elton Sette from May 16-23, 2016. The most recent diel surveys were conducted on the ESD-led cruise HA1801 at Baker Island, Jarvis Island, and Palmyra Atoll between June 12th-August 7th, 2018.

Diel suites were deployed on the reef for at least 24 hours to measure in-situ salinity, dissolved oxygen, temperature, pressure, pH, and current direction and magnitude. Seawater samples were also collected for laboratory analyses of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and total alkalinity (TA). Components of the carbonate system--including pH, pCO2 (partial pressure of carbon dioxide), and aragonite saturation state--are calculated from DIC, TA, temperature, salinity and pressure. Each diel suite typically consisted of: 1 SBE-19plus CTD sensor, an oxygen sensor, 1 Nortek Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP), 1 Satlantic SeaFET Ocean pH sensor, and up to 9 Programmable Underwater Collectors (PUCs), each of which collected 1 water sample at 4-hour intervals. Instruments deployed, samples collected, and sample intervals are recorded in the summary file enclosed with the data package, and exceptions to the standard diel suite are also noted.

Abstract:

The ocean acidification diel suite is an autonomous instrument package that measures diel variability in coral reef seawater carbonate chemistry. Diel suite surveys are conducted by the NOAA Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC), Ecosystem Sciences Division (ESD) within coral reef ecosystems across the Pacific Islands Region as part of the NOAA National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP). The data provided in this data set are from diel suites deployed during ESD-led missions at select sites in the Pacific Remote Island Areas. Diel surveys were conducted during NCRMP missions aboard NOAA Ship Hi'ialakai at Jarvis Island, Kingman Reef, and Palmyra Atoll from April 11-28, 2015 and again at Jarvis from April 2-6, 2017. Diel surveys were also conducted at Jarvis in collaboration with Anne Cohen’s lab at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution during a special post-bleaching mission aboard NOAA Ship Oscar Elton Sette from May 16-23, 2016. The most recent diel surveys were conducted on the ESD-led cruise HA1801 at Baker Island, Jarvis Island, and Palmyra Atoll between June 12th-August 7th, 2018.

Diel suites were deployed on the reef for at least 24 hours to measure in-situ salinity, dissolved oxygen, temperature, pressure, pH, and current direction and magnitude. Seawater samples were also collected for laboratory analyses of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and total alkalinity (TA). Components of the carbonate system--including pH, pCO2 (partial pressure of carbon dioxide), and aragonite saturation state--are calculated from DIC, TA, temperature, salinity and pressure. Each diel suite typically consisted of: 1 SBE-19plus CTD sensor, an oxygen sensor, 1 Nortek Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP), 1 Satlantic SeaFET Ocean pH sensor, and up to 9 Programmable Underwater Collectors (PUCs), each of which collected 1 water sample at 4-hour intervals. Instruments deployed, samples collected, and sample intervals are recorded in the summary file enclosed with the data package, and exceptions to the standard diel suite are also noted.
Purpose:

Manual seawater sampling and other National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP) field monitoring efforts are limited to daylight hour operations. As a result, these data sets do not capture full 24-hour variability in coral reef physical and chemical environments. The ocean acidification diel suite was developed to increase the temporal resolution and coverage of oceanographic and carbonate chemistry measurements and contextualize daytime sampling within the full diel cycle.
Notes:

For the 2016 deployments at Jarvis, an SBE-37 MicroCAT was used to collect conductivity and temperature data instead of a SBE-19plus v2 SeaCAT. Pressure data are not available from the MicroCAT, so pressure data from the ADCP are included in the data package instead.

Dissolved oxygen (DO) data is only available from 2018 when 1 SBE-43 oxygen sensor was tethered to the CTD sensor. Diel surveys from 2019 incorporate stand-alone PAR and DO loggers however they have yet to be conducted in the PRIAs.

Supplemental Information:

The NOAA National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP) details a long term approach to provide an ecosystem perspective via monitoring climate, fish, benthic, and socioeconomic variables in a consistent and integrated manner. The NCRMP coordinates various NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP) biological, physical, and human dimensions activities into a cohesive NOAA-wide effort. Through the implementation of the NCRMP, NOAA is able to clearly and concisely communicate results of national-scale monitoring to national, state, and territorial policy makers, resource managers, and the public on a periodic basis.

NCRMP is a framework for conducting sustained observations of biological, climate, and socioeconomic indicators at 10 priority coral reefs across the U.S. and its territories. This integrated approach consolidates monitoring of coral reefs under a uniform method in the Pacific, Atlantic, Caribbean, and the Gulf of Mexico for the first time. NCRMP is funded by the Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP) and supported by NOAA Fisheries, NOAA National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS), NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic & Meteorological Laboratory (AOML), NOAA Coral Reef Watch, and many other partners. The Ecosystem Sciences Division (ESD) at NOAA Fisheries is leading in-situ climate monitoring in the U.S. Pacific Islands Region.

The climate component of NCRMP in the Pacific provides a comprehensive view of climate change impacts on coral reef ecosystems and helps identify areas of resilience and vulnerability. The key indicators used to identify and monitor climate-driven trends include 1) thermal stress caused by changes in sea temperature, 2) ocean acidification resulting from changes in carbonate chemistry, and 3) ecological impacts by collecting data on coral growth rates, erosion, and community structure to understand the impacts of thermal stress and ocean acidification on the ecosystem. Each year, ESD scientists work closely with CRCP and partners during Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program (RAMP) missions to collect data using moored oceanographic and ecological instruments stationed at fixed sites in the Pacific Ocean, and water samples collected by divers. The in-situ data and satellite-based observations are also used in modeling efforts. Innovative analysis techniques are used to develop products that give fellow scientists, managers, decision makers and the public a better understanding of a region’s resources and how they are changing over time.

Data Set Information

Data Set Scope Code: Data Set
Data Set Type: CSV Files
Maintenance Frequency: As Needed
Maintenance Note:

Initially published in 2019 with data collected in 2015, 2016, and 2017. Re-published in 2021 with updates to table structure and data collected in 2018.
Data Presentation Form: Table (digital)
Entity Attribute Overview:

CTD data include conductivity, temperature, and pressure observations with calculated depth, salinity, and density. In 2016, pressure data is provided from the ADCP rather than the CTD as a separate file.

Water samples are analyzed for dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and total alkalinity (TA). pH, partial pressure of carbon dioxide, and aragonite saturation state are mathematically derived from TA and DIC values using temperature, salinity, and pressure data from the CTD (in 2016 pressure data from the ADCP was used in the calculations).

pH data are the mean of a burst of 30 measurements collected every 2 or 5 minutes.

Dissolved oxygen data was included as of 2021, after oxygen sensors began co-deploying with diel surveys in 2018.

Current magnitude (meters/second) and direction (degrees) data are typically binned into 1-m height bins represented by the height of each bin above the sensor on the seafloor, but smaller bin sizes (0.25 - 0.5m) are used for shallower deployments.
Distribution Liability:

While every effort has been made to ensure that these data are accurate and reliable within the limits of the current state of the art, NOAA cannot assume liability for any damages caused by errors or omissions in the data, nor as a result of the failure of the data to function on a particular system. NOAA makes no warranty, expressed or implied, nor does the fact of distribution constitute such a warranty.

NOAA Ecosystem Sciences Division (ESD) Data Sharing Recommendations, version 9.0 updated August 12, 2015:

ESD welcomes the opportunity to collaborate on research issues contributing to the scientific basis for better management of marine ecosystems. ESD has a very diverse set of field activities that generates large volumes of data using an array of data collection protocols.

The following recommendations are for your consideration as you use this data:

1) Data analyses should take all field exigencies into account. The most effective way to do this would be active collaboration with ESD principal investigators.

2) In all presentations, product releases, or publications using data generated by ESD, proper acknowledgement of both ESD and the individuals responsible for data collection is expected. Citing the DOI (if available) is preferred, a non-DOI example is listed below.

3) If you collect or generate data for the same study areas, ESD requests that you share relevant information on complimentary data collections.

4) Those receiving data are strongly urged to inform the ESD Data Management Team of any errors and discrepancies that are discovered during the course of using these data. They are further urged to bring to the attention of the Team all problems and difficulties encountered in using these data. This information is necessary in order to improve the collections and to facilitate more efficient and economical data processing and retrieval. The users are asked to supply copies of any missing data that may be located, and to provide information as to significant subsets and special aggregations of data that are developed in using the material provided.

Technical Environment

Description:

Raw data are downloaded from the instruments, processed in R, and migrated to the PIFSC Oracle database.

Water sample data is stored in an MS Access database.

Data Quality

Representativeness:

Seawater carbonate chemistry at the benthos is dynamic and driven by physical and biological processes occurring at time scales of minutes to days. The measurements and analyses from this instrument suite is representative of the water column chemistry at the time of measurement, but this highly variable environment allows for a fairly wide distribution of measured values.
Accuracy:

Water samples: accuracy of seawater carbonate chemistry laboratory analysis is explained in detail in Dickson et al (2007), SOP #2: Determination of total dissolved inorganic carbon in sea water, and SOP #3b: Determination of total alkalinity in sea water using an open-cell titration.

Satlantic SeaFET Ocean pH sensor: measurement range: 6.5-9.0 pH; salinity range: 2-40 psu; accuracy: +/- 0.05 pH; precision: better than 0.001 pH; resolution: 0.0001 pH; stability: 0.005 pH/mo

SBE-19plus CTD sensor:

Conductivity - measurement range: 0-9 S/m; accuracy: +/- 0.0005 S/m; stability: 0.0003 S/m per month; resolution: 0.00005 S/m;

Temperature - measurement range: -5-35 deg C; accuracy: +/-0.005 deg C; stability: 0.0002 deg C per month; resolution: 0.0001 deg C;

Pressure - measurement range: 0-600 m; accuracy: +/- 0.1%; stability: +/- 0.1%; resolution: 0.002%

Nortek Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler 1MHz: Profiling range: 12-25 m; accuracy: +/- 1%

SBE-43 oxygen sensor: Measurement range: 120% surface saturation; accuracy: +/- 2% of saturation; stability: 0.5% per 1000 hours
Analytical Accuracy:

For some deployments, paired water samples are collected simultaneously at the benthos and 1.5 meters above the seafloor.
Completeness Measure:

The entire suite of instrumentation is deployed during diel surveys; however, various issues can occur with any one or several of the instruments during the deployment thereby limiting the data recovered.

While PUCs are programmed to collect water on this regular sampling schedule, issues with the pumps can occasionally result in missing samples for some of the time steps.

Pressure data were not collected by the CTD for diel surveys at Jarvis in 2016, pressure data from the ADCP is therefore included as a separate file. Refer to the summary file enclosed with the data package for details.
Field Precision:

Redundant data are collected to ensure accuracy of the methods/instrumentation. pH is captured from the discrete water samples and pH sensor. Pressure is captured by the ADCP and the CTD. Temperature is captured by the pH sensor and the CTD. For some deployments, paired water samples are collected simultaneously at the benthos and 1.5 meters above the seafloor.
Completeness Report:

All analyzed samples and measured values are included. NULL values in the data, where they exist, indicate that the observation/analysis was not conducted for the sample record where it appears.
Conceptual Consistency:

The data are very consistent, sample collection and processing protocols detailed in Dickson et al (2007) are adhered to rigorously, both in the field (SOP #1) and in the laboratory (SOP #2 and #3b).
Quality Control Procedures Employed:

The data is quality controlled by NOAA PIFSC Ecosystem Sciences Division (ESD) personnel after the data is downloaded from the instruments, after it is migrated to the database, and once again when the data are submitted to the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information.

NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) conducts quality assurance and quality control on their seawater analyses according to protocols #2 and #3b in Dickson et al (2007).

Data Management

Have Resources for Management of these Data Been Identified?: Yes
Approximate Percentage of Budget for these Data Devoted to Data Management: Unknown
Do these Data Comply with the Data Access Directive?: Yes
Is Access to the Data Limited Based on an Approved Waiver?: No
Approximate Delay Between Data Collection and Dissemination: Unknown
Actual or Planned Long-Term Data Archive Location: NCEI-MD
Approximate Delay Between Data Collection and Archiving: Unknown
How Will the Data Be Protected from Accidental or Malicious Modification or Deletion Prior to Receipt by the Archive?:

The data is captured in several locations: files stored on the cruise server during the mission and the PIFSC network, and data are imported into the PIFSC Oracle database. The cruise server is regularly backed up by the cruise data manager while at sea, and the PIFSC network and Oracle database are maintained and regularly backed up by PIFSC ITS.

Lineage

Lineage Statement:

The ocean acidification diel suite is a collection of instruments deployed by SCUBA divers onto the seafloor that makes autonomous measurements and collects seawater samples. For a typical deployment, the diel suite consists of: 1 Sea Bird Electronics (SBE)-19plus CTD, 1 Nortek Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP), 1 Satlantic SeaFET Ocean pH sensor, and up to 9 Programmable Underwater Collectors (PUCs), where each PUC collects 1 water sample at a 4-hour interval over a minimum 24-hour period. Starting 2018, an SBE-43 oxygen sensor is co-located with the SBE-19plus CTD. All instruments are weighted or zip-tied to rubble on the seafloor, or both, to secure the position of the instrumentation for the duration of the deployment.

Process Steps

Process Step 1

CC ID: 801390
Description:

Water samples collected with Programmable Underwater Collectors (PUC)

Developed by Dr. Chris Langdon's laboratory at the University of Miami, PUCs are computerized timers attached to a low-power peristaltic pump. An array of PUCs collects water samples at 4-hour intervals over the course of at least 24-hours, usually starting at 12:00 pm local time on day 1 and ending at 12:00 pm on day 2. While PUCs are programmed to collect water on this regular sampling schedule, issues with the pumps can occasionally result in missing samples for some of the time steps. For some deployments, paired water samples were collected simultaneously at the benthos and 1.5 meters above the seafloor.

Samples are collected underwater in tedlar bags pre-poisoned with mercuric chloride and transferred to glass bottles within a few hours of recovery. Water samples are analyzed for DIC using a coulometer (SOP #2) and for TA using a titrator (SPO #3b) by the NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory. On occasion, poor pump performance results in half-filled sample bags. These samples are only analyzed for TA due to insufficient sample volume for DIC analysis. Full carbon system chemistry values (including pH, pCO2, and aragonite saturation state) are derived from DIC/TA and salinity/temperature/pressure data from a co-deployed CTD using the R package seacarb. Discrete sample pH data are compared to SeaFET pH data.

Process Step 2

CC ID: 801391
Description:

Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) sensor

The diel suite includes either a 1.0 MHz or a 2.0 MHz side-looking ADCP (1.0 MHz ranges 20-m depth, while the 2.0 MHz ranges 10-m). ADCP measurements are collected at 2- or 10-minute intervals and binned by height above the sensor. Each height bin is represented in the data set as the upper limit of the bin height above the sensor on the seafloor (for example, a 1.4 m bin represents current data collected between 0.4 m and 1.4 m above the ADCP). ADCP data include a blanking region, or a small distance in front of the transducer in which measurements cannot be made, of 0.2-0.4 m. Current data are typically grouped into 1-m height bins, but smaller bin sizes (0.25 - 0.5m) are used for shallower deployments.

Raw data downloaded from the ADCP are processed in R using the oce package. XYZ coordinate data are converted to ENU (east-north-up) coordinate system. Current speed is calculated as the square root of the sum of the squared u and v velocities and direction as the arctan(v/u). Data are trimmed to a maximum height bin for each time step using pressure data to remove above-water signal. As a result, NULL values may exist for larger height bins above the surface of the water due to waves and tides.

Process Step 3

CC ID: 801392
Description:

Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) sensor

CTD data are collected by a Sea Bird Electronics 19plus v2 SeaCAT at varying intervals, depending on the year and survey (every 10 sec, 20 sec, 1 min, or 5 min). Data are uploaded as HEX files, converted to CNV using SBE Data Processing Software, and converted to CSV using the 'oce' package in R.

Process Step 4

CC ID: 801394
Description:

SeaFET pH sensor

The SeaFET pH measures in-situ pH using a solid state ISFET sensor with an AgCl external reference electrode. The electrode is conditioned in running seawater up to a week prior to deployment and stored in artificial seawater between deployments. pH data are collected in bursts of 30 measurements every 2 or 5 minutes. The SeaFET is co-deployed with a CTD, and temperature and salinity values from the CTD time series are used to correct the raw pH time series. The SeaFET derives pH from both internal and external potentiometric cells, but only external pH is reported. SeaFET pH values are compared to pH values calculated from discrete TA and DIC samples collected at the same time and location.

Identifier: SBE 19plus V2
Docucomp UUID: d834d7e0-70dd-11e0-a1f0-0800200c9a66
Instrument / Gear: Instrument
Instrument Type: conductivity, temperature, depth
Description:

The SBE 19plus V2 (Version 2) SEACAT Profiler measures conductivity, temperature, and pressure (depth) and provides high accuracy and resolution, reliability, and ease-of-use for a wide range of research, monitoring, and engineering applications. The pump-controlled, TC-ducted flow configuration minimizes salinity spiking caused by ship heave and allows for slow descent rates without slowing sensor responses, improving dynamic accuracy and resolving small scale structure in the water column.

Instrument 4

CC ID: 1075816
Identifier: SBE 43 DO Sensor
Instrument / Gear: Instrument
Instrument Type: Dissolved Oxygen Sensor
Description:

The SBE 43 is an individually calibrated, high-accuracy oxygen sensor to assist in critical hypoxia and ocean stoichiometric oxygen chemistry research on a variety of profiling and moored platforms. The SBE 43 is designed for use in a CTD’s pumped flow path, providing optimal correlation with CTD measurements. Elapsed time between the CTD and associated oxygen measurement is easily quantified, and corrected for, in post-processing. The black plenum and plumbing’s black tubing blocks light, reducing in-situ algal growth. Plumbing isolates the SBE 43 from continuous exposure to the external environment, allowing trapped water to go anoxic and minimizing electrolyte consumption between samples for moored deployments.

Instrument 5

CC ID: 801399
Identifier: SeaFET v2
Instrument / Gear: Instrument
Instrument Type: Ocean pH Sensor
Description:

SeaFET v2 Ocean pH Sensor measures in-situ pH using a solid state ISFET sensor with an AgCl external reference electrode.

Platforms

Platform 1

CC ID: 801400
Identifier: Diel Suite
Description:

The Ocean Acidification Diel Suite is not a physical platform (boat, buoy, etc.), but rather a collection of instruments deployed together on the seafloor that makes autonomous measurements and collects seawater samples, which allows for the quantification of 24-hr variability in seawater carbonate chemistry present at the reef.
