Kd_Mean
Kd averages calculated by month from studies conducted in St. John, US Virgin Islands from 2014-2017.
Kd standard error from values published in studies
Kd_SE
Measurements of light intensity (PAR) underwater (19 m depth) in St. John, US Virgin Islands from 2014-2017.
Underwater light; averaged within burst that the sensor was on
Burst_average
Measurements of light intensity (PAR) underwater (19 m depth) in St. John, US Virgin Islands from 2014-2017.
Kd PAR calculated according to equations and assumptions in paper (DOI: 10.1007/s00338-018-1721-y). Values at night and late/early in the day (between about 17:00 and 07:00 the next day) are unlikely to be meaninghful due to the low values recorded.
Kd_PAR
Measurements of light intensity (PAR) underwater (19 m depth) in St. John, US Virgin Islands from 2014-2017.
Mean Kd-PAR over noon hours using 2-3 records around noon.
