Temperature data from SeaBird SBE56 sensors deployed at various depths on instrument moorings inside and outside of kelp forests near the Monterey Peninsula, California, USA from June to August 2018 and 2019 (NCEI Accession 0291779)
This dataset contains physical data collected in the North Pacific Ocean from 2018-06-07 to 2019-10-08. These data include depth and water temperature. The instruments used to collect these data include Sea-Bird SBE 56 temperature recorder. 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 2022-04-04.

SBE56 water column temperature – 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.
Location Abbreviations:
PK = Protected kelp 2018,
PO = Protected offshore 2018,
EK = Exposed ‘kelp’ 2018,
EO = Exposed offshore 2018,
MK = Protected kelp 2019,
MO = Protected offshore 2019,
OK = exposed kelp 2019,
OO = Exposed offshore 2019.
Methodology:
In 2018, SeaBird SBE56 sensors were deployed at PK at 2 and 5 meters above the bottom, at PO at 4 and 10 meters above the bottom, at EK at 2 and 4 meters above the bottom, and at EO at 4 and 10 meters above the bottom. In 2019, instruments were deployed at MK at 2 and 6 meters above the bottom, at MO at 2 to 6 and 9 to 13 meters above the bottom, at OK at 2 and 6 meters above the bottom, and at OO at 4 and 11 meters above the bottom. The SBE56 were calibrated on 14 April, 2018.
