©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.This dataset contains the primary data of irradiance recorded underwater and onshore and the estimated light attenuation coefficient, Kd, based on these data in Varadero Reef. The irradiance recorded synchronously onshore and underwater were used to estimate the variability of the light attenuation coefficient (Kd) resulting from temporal variation of the optical properties of water.
This dataset contains the primary data of irradiance recorded underwater and onshore and the estimated light attenuation coefficient, Kd, based on these data in Varadero Reef, Colombia, August - November 2017. The irradiance recorded synchronously onshore and underwater were used to estimate the variability of the light attenuation coefficient (Kd) resulting from temporal variation of the optical properties of water.
These data were used in the manuscript “Degradation of the underwater light environment: physiological and ecological consequences for reef corals” submitted to the Journal Nature Communications Biology. [under review, 2019-12-28]
