Title:SBC LTER: Ocean: High resolution water temperature at Mohawk and Arroyo Quemado, ongoing since 2018
Alternate Identifier:DOI PLACE HOLDER
Abstract:

Ocean in-situ temperature data were collected at two nearshore locations: Mohawk and Arroyo Quemado. There are three sites at each of the locations: inshore, offshore, and east of reef. Temperature was recorded using hobo sensors at 1-meter interval along the water column, and the sampling interval is 2 minutes.

Methods and protocols used in the collection of this data package
Description:

Sensor deployment

The water temperature is recorded using hobo sensors. 9-14 sensors with 1-m interval on a mooring line, depending on the depth of the site. The .hobo raw data files are exported to machine readable text files using Hobo ware Pro. These files, as well as the newly created .txt files are uploaded to a temporary directory on the file server for further processing. Subsequent processing steps include inspection of the coincident temperature time series from all depths to confirm the sensors deployed at the correct depth, and to identify and clip the pre- and post-deployment out of water data, if any. The sampling interval for each sensor is 2 minutes.

Abstract:

The Santa Barbara Coastal LTER (SBC LTER) is an interdisciplinary research and education program established in April 2000 with the goal of developing a predictive understanding of how environmental drivers interact with terrestrial and oceanic processes to alter material flows and influence the ecology of coastal ecosystems. SBC LTER's principal study domain is the semi-arid coast and nearshore waters of the Santa Barbara Channel in southern California, and its diverse and productive marine forests of giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) serve as the focal study ecosystem. Analyses of our long-term data have identified many of the environmental drivers and ecological processes underlying the production and community dynamics of kelp forests. The research proposed to address this question is integrated in a conceptual framework that focuses on the causes and ecological consequences of the dynamics of a relatively short-lived foundation species in a setting of long-term climate change and human use.
