Dataset: Temperature and irradiance from outdoor flumes at the UCB Gump Research Station Moorea, French Polynesia from November of 2015 to March of 2016

See Carpenter et al. (2018) for a detailed overview of the methodology of the experiment designed to measure coral reef community metabolism responses to ocean acidification over a 4-month period from November 13th, 2015 to March 15th, 2016 in outdoor flumes at the UCB Gump Research Station Moorea, French Polynesia.

Physical data:
Throughout the experiment and in all flumes, logging sensors (sampling every 30 min) recorded PAR (using cosine-corrected PAR loggers, Dataflow Systems Ltd, Christchurch, New Zealand), and temperature [Hobo Pro v2 ( 0.2 C), Onset Computer Corp., Bourne, MA].

Community composition:
~ 25% coral cover, comprised of 11% cover of massive Porites spp., 7% Porites rus, 4% Montipora spp. and 3% Pocillopora spp. There was ~ 7% cover of crustose coralline algae (CCA), with 4% Porolithon onkodes and 3% Lithophyllum kotschyanum, and ~ 5% cover of small pieces (i.e., ~ 1-cm diameter) of coral rubble (Fig. S2, Carpenter et al., 2018)."
