Abstract

Carbonate chemistry from outdoor flumes at the UCB Gump Research Station Moorea, French Polynesia in September and October of 2012. These data were collected as part of a study of investigating how diel pCO2 oscillations modulate the response of the coral Acropora hyacinthus to ocean acidification. See Comeau et al. (2014) for details of this study.

Cite Dataset

Seawater pH was measured at 07:00 h and 19:00 h in each tank, using a pH meter (Orion, 3-stars mobile coupled with a Mettler DG 115-SC pH electrode) calibrated every 2 d on the total scale using Tris/HCl buffers (Dickson). 

Parameters of the carbonate system were calculated from salinity, temperature, AT, and pHT using the R package seacarb (Lavigne and Gattuso 2011).

Refer to publication Comeau et al. (2014) for more details.
