Abstract:

Stream Discharge and water temperature were collected with a Solinst Model 3001 LT Levelogger at Carpinteria Creek, 8th St Foot Bridge in the Santa Barbara coastal area (site ID: CP00). Data are reported hourly. Stage values were converted to discharge using a rating curve developed with stream channel cross-sections, roughness estimates and the HEC-RAS model.

Description:

Data Processing

Stage heights are determined by subtracting atmospheric pressure from measured total pressure (stream + atmospheric) measured on the bottom of the stream channel. Discharge is computed using the USGS HEC-RAS model. For more information, see the protocol document above

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.
