Abstract

Daily casts with a RBRconcerto instrument were conducted at the Santa Monica Pier, California from April 16-25th, 2018 as part of the San Pedro Ocean Time-series (SPOT) project. Casts were conducted in surface waters (1-2 m depth) and measured conductivity, temperature, pressure, dissolved oxygen saturation, chlorophyll a, and salinity.

Sampling and analytical procedures:
We used the RBRconcerto during the daily sampling period April 16-25th 2018 in surface waters off of the Santa Monica Pier, California. The RBRConcerto was lowered into the water for 10 minutes between 1 to 2 meters depth during which we sampled nearby sea water for downstream RNA extractions and 18S rRNA gene tag sequence processing.
