CTD casts paired with bi-weekly water sampling events at instrument mooring sites near the Monterey Peninsula, California, USA from June to August 2018 and 2019 (NCEI Accession 0291754)
This dataset contains biological, chemical, optical, and physical data collected in the North Pacific Ocean from 2018-06-12 to 2019-08-02. These data include PAR, conductivity, density, depth, dissolved Oxygen, fluorescence, salinity, turbidity, water pressure, and water temperature. The instruments used to collect these data include CTD Sea-Bird SBE SEACAT 19plus. These data were collected by Kerry J. Nickols of California State University Northridge and Robert B. Dunbar of Stanford University as part of the "Collaborative Research: RUI: Building a mechanistic understanding of water column chemistry alteration by kelp forests: emerging contributions of foundation species (Kelp forest biogeochemistry)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2022-08-23.

Water column CTD - Inside and outside kelp
Dataset Description:
Acquisition Description:
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.
Methodology:
CTD (SeaBird Electronics 19Plus V2 SeaCAT) casts were made at instrument moorings bi-weekly accompanied by discrete water sample collections. The CTD was first suspended ~1 meter below the surface for approximately 3 minutes to allow instruments to equilibrate. After 3 minutes, the CTD was raised to just below the surface and lowered to the seafloor at a rate of approximately 1 m/s. Once at the bottom, the CTD was pulled back up, pulled on the boat, and switched off. The CTD was thoroughly washed with fresh water after each day of use.
