©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.These data include thermal profiles from sediments off the South Atlantic Bight offshore from Isle of Palms, Charleston County, South Carolina 32°45’N 79°45’W. Data from 2018 through 2020 were collected using temperature loggers that were inset in PVC stakes and jetted into the seafloor. Instruments used for temperature collection were Onset HOBO TidbiT v2 data loggers.

Show moreHeat has been widely used as an inexpensive tracer in groundwater systems (Anderson 2005; Constanz 2008), including studies of SGD (Taniguchi 2000; Moore and Wilson 2005; Martin et al 2006). In our system, the temperature of sub-seafloor porewaters differs from the temperature of overlying seawater owing to seasonal variations in surface temperature. We can thus use heat in two ways: (1) to measure the depth of rapid flushing events and (2) to estimate rates of long-term regional flow.
Instruments: Onset HOBO TidbiT v2 Water Temperature Data logger with 12-bit resolution and has ±0.2 °C accuracy. It is designed for outdoor and underwater environments and is waterproof to 300 m (1000 ft). Bluetooth transmission allows users to offload data.
Location: 10 - 20 kilometers offshore from the Isle of Palms, Charleston County, South Carolina 32°45’N 79°45’W. Day trips aboard a dive boat 2-4 times per summer during the years 2018-2020. Dive boat: Trinity, Charleston SC.
