    Coral (Pocillopora verrucosa) growth and tissue mortality from experimental field plots in Moʻorea, French Polynesia in 2021
    (Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO). Contact: bco-dmo-data@whoi.edu, 2024-04-24) Hay, Mark ; Stewart, Frank James ; Clements, Cody ; Pratte, Zoe
    Hundreds of studies now document positive relationships between biodiversity and critical ecosystem processes, but as ecological communities worldwide shift towards new species configurations, less is known regarding how biodiversity of undesirable species will shape the functioning of ecosystems or foundation species. We manipulated macroalgal species richness in experimental field plots to test whether and how identity and diversity of competing macroalgae affected the growth, survival, and microbiome of a common coral in Moʻorea, French Polynesia. These data include coral (Pocillopora verrucosa) percent growth and tissue mortality among corals outplanted into 25 cm x 21 cm experimental plots in the back reef lagoon on the north coast of Moʻorea, French Polynesia (17°28′37″S 149°50′21″W). We varied the macroalgal community on the upper surface of each plot by outplanting monocultures holding similar masses of: (1) Sargassum pacificum, (2) Turbinaria ornata, or (3) Amansia rhodantha, as well as (4) polycultures containing all three species (12 plots per treatment; Figure 1 of Clements et al., 2024). There were also two additional treatments: (5) plots with plastic algal mimics to control for effects of shading or abrasion unrelated to the biotic properties of live seaweeds and 6) control plots where corals, but not living algae or physical mimics, were present (n = 12 plots/treatment). This dataset includes coral (Pocillopora verrucosa) growth and tissue mortality at 9 weeks for plots with no algae (control), plastic algal mimics, monocultures of Amansia rhodantha, Turbinaria ornata, or Sargassum pacificum, and polycultures containing all three algal species.

    Concentrations of the rare earth elements (REE) and Thorium-232 (232Th) in glacial dust from the northern Gulf of Alaska region
    (Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO). Contact: bco-dmo-data@whoi.edu, 2024-04-23) Crusius, John ; Lao, Carsten A. ; Holmes, Thomas M. ; Murray, James W.
    Concentrations of the rare earth elements (REE) and Thorium-232 (232Th) are presented for filtered air (dust) samples collected from the northern Gulf of Alaska region, including from Middleton Island (AK)(59.4214 N, 146.3493 W) and the Copper River delta (60.4324 N, 145.0954 W). Size-fractionated samples were collected in November 2019, using a Tisch Volumetric Flow Controlled (VFC) high volume sampler (Tisch Environmental, TE-5170V- BL) outfitted with a Cascade impactor. The six size fractions collected ranged from <0.49 micrometers (um) to >7.2 um in diameter. This sampler technology is discussed in greater detail in Morton et al, 2013. Samples were filtered with acid-washed Whatman 41 (W41) cellulose fiber filters. Additional bulk dust samples were collected in October 2012, using a Thermo Partisol Plus 2025 using Teflon filters. Samples were fully digested using concentrated nitric and hydrofluoric acids, following the approach of Morton et al, 2013. Samples were analyzed using a Thermofisher iCAP inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) in KED mode, with He as a collision cell gas, adapted from the approach of Trommetter et al (2020). Concentrations were determined from standard curves using a REE ICP-MS standard from High-Purity Standards (that also contained 232Th). Three internal standards (Ge, In, and Bi) were added to both samples and standards, to correct for short-term variability in the instrument response and to evaluate stability of mass response during the ICP-MS run. Concentration estimates for the REE and 232Th were blank-corrected using full-process blanks that included filters deployed during times when there was no known dust deposition. Most of the full-process blank concentrations were 100 times or more smaller than the concentrations of our lowest standard (with the exception of Ce, the concentration of which was ~seven times smaller than our lowest standard. This means that our blank concentrations were very low but also not quantified extremely accurately. Our best estimates are that the full-process blanks, including filters, ranged from 0.02 picograms per square centimeter (pg cm-2) for Eu, Tb, and Ho, to 2 pg cm-2 for Ce. These blank concentrations were in all cases 40 times or more smaller than our lowest REE sample concentration for the <0.49 um size fraction with the smallest amount of dust, and ~3 orders of magnitude smaller than the signal of the largest samples. The REE data are also presented in a double-normalized format that first normalizes to concentrations of Post Archean Australian Shale and then normalizes to the mean REE concentration. The normalization approach is slightly modified from that of Serno et al, 2014.

    This coral calcification dataset includes the areas of corals as they changed over a year-long experiment. Flume physical and chemical conditions are provided as a supplemental file. These data are part of a study of year-long effects of high pCO2 on the community structure of a tropical fore reef assembled in outdoor flumes in Moorea, French Polynesia from 2017 to 2018. These coral calcification data support publication (Edmunds et al., 2020; doi:10.1093/icesjms/fsaa015) with the following abstract: In this study, fore reef coral communities were exposed to high pCO2 for a year to explore the relationship between net accretion (Gnet) and community structure (planar area growth). Coral reef communities simulating the fore reef at 17-m depth on Mo’orea, French Polynesia, were assembled in three outdoor flumes (each 500 l) that were maintained at ambient (396 matm), 782 matm, and 1434 matm pCO2, supplied with seawater at 300 l h 1, and exposed to light simulating 17-m depth. The communities were constructed using corals from the fore reef, and the responses of massive Porites spp., Acropora spp., and Pocillopora verrucosa were assessed through monthly measurements of Gnet and planar area. High pCO2 depressed Gnet but did not affect colony area by taxon, although the areas of Acropora spp. and P. verrucosa summed to cause multivariate community structure to differ among treatments. These results suggest that skeletal plasticity modulates the effects of reduced Gnet at high pCO2 on planar growth, at least over a year.

    CTD-associated variables, bottle salinity measurements, oxygen titrations, nutrient analyses, biogeochemical/biological variables, and DIC chemistry variables from R/V Thomas G. Thompson cruise TN376 from January to March 2020
    (Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO). Contact: bco-dmo-data@whoi.edu, 2024-04-17) Balch, William M. ; Bates, Nicholas ; McGillicuddy, Dennis J. ; Morton, Peter L. ; Brownlee, Colin
    These data are part of the NSF project "Collaborative Research: Biogeochemical and Physical Conditioning of Sub-Antarctic Mode Water in the Southern Ocean." Specifically, these are the discrete bottle data from cruise TN376 aboard R/V Thomas G. Thompson, which sailed from Cape Town, South Africa (22 January 2020) to the Southern Ocean and returned to Mauritius (3 March 2020). The purpose of the project was to define the processes that condition SubAntarctic Mode Water formed at the SubAntarctic Front in the Southern Ocean. The cruise track took us southeast from Cape Town for our first shakedown station at 38°35'S x 024°E, a station which was ultimately canceled due to heavy weather conditions. Two days out of Cape Town, the coupler between the ship's number three main engine and generator broke. This meant the ship only had one main engine, with an associated generator, plus two smaller engines/generators for all power needs. With the loss in redundancy, this meant we had to cut our cruise plans short, in order to stay within several hundred miles of Durban, SA, such that the ship could go in for repair once a replacement coupler could be found. This also meant we had to abandon the planned meridional transect that was to be done on this trip, since the travel to the shipyard, the repair, and return to the next station took over a week of sampling out of the cruise, and our proximity to Durban (and long distance from the Crozet Islands) meant we couldn't possibly accomplish the meridional transect and make it to Mauritius within the UNOLS ship schedule. We added the meridional transect to the second cruise of this project, RR2004. Bottle data were collected from CTD casts with tripped Niskin bottles on the CTD Rosette. Trace-metal-clean casts were performed using Niskin-X bottles suspended on Kevlar line and a trace-metal-clean block. The data reported herein fall into several categories: A) CTD-associated variables [temperature, salinity, density, dissolved oxygen and oxygen solubility, potential temperature, chlorophyll fluorescence, beam transmissivity, light], B) bottle salinity measurements using a salinometer, C) oxygen titrations and nutrient analyses performed aboard ship, biogeochemical/biological variables, and D) DIC chemistry variables. Regarding the specific data, we first report CTD variables (conductivity, salinity, temperature, potential temperature, density, dissolved oxygen, sound velocity, pressure, depth, conductivity, SeaBird-probe-derived oxygen concentrations, chlorophyll fluorescence, beam transmittance (660nm; %), backscattering, CTD PAR, and surface PAR reference). Next, results from bottle samples for salinity, lab oxygen titration, and nutrient concentrations (nitrate, phosphate, silicate, nitrite, and ammonium). The following biogeochemical and biological results are presented (analyzed post-cruise): particulate organic carbon concentration (POC), particulate organic nitrogen (PON), particulate inorganic carbon (PIC), biogenic silicate (BSi), concentration of detached coccoliths (given as birefringent singlets, doublets, triplets or quadruplets, when viewed in a compound microscope with polarization optics), total coccolith concentration (the sum of singlets, doublets, triplets or quadruplets), concentration of birefringent plated coccolithophore cells, coccospheres or coccolith aggregates, planar area subtended by detached coccoliths or plated cells, concentration of extracted chlorophyll, phaeopigment and their sum (done aboard ship). There are a suite of variables from FlowCAM measurements (done aboard ship), mostly done on particles >5 micrometers (um) diameter: Particle size distribution function (PSDF) slope, standard error of that PSDF slope, Y-intercept of the PSDF, R^2 of the PDF slope, F statistic of PSDF slope, total cell concentration per mL, concentrations (in cells per mL) of small 0-4um diameter cells, 4-12um round cells, 4-12um diameter ovoid cells, dinoflagellates, ciliates, diatoms silicoflagellates, other unidentified cells, followed by percent of total cell concentrations, and carbon biomass (using equations of Menden Deuer and Lessard) for the same cell categories. Carbon fixation rates were performed aboard the ship and samples were analyzed aboard ship. The data are presented here for: ratio of calcification/photosynthesis, photosynthesis, calcification, standard deviation of photosynthesis and calcification measurements, chlorophyll concentration within incubation bottles, chlorophyll normalized photosynthesis and calcification. Corrected salinity (based on bottle salinity), corrected SeaBird oxygen values based on lab oxygen titrations, dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) concentrations, and total alkalinity. Finally, photophysiological measurements were made aboard ship and the photophysiological coefficients are presented for (a) average bulk PAM (pulse amplitude modulation) fluorimetry results and (b) average PAM microscopy results made on individual coccolithophores, dinoflagellates, and diatoms.

    ITAGs were used to measure squid movement dynamics. The sensor package was small (12.5 × 2.6 × 2.7 cm) and was affixed using surgical sutures . Additionally, ITAGs were neutrally buoyant, hydrodynamic, and focal tagged squid exhibited normal swimming and schooling behaviors with other conspecifics. ITAGs contain an inertial measurement unit (IMU) which measures acceleration, magnetic field strength, and angular velocity. These tags were used to measure the swimming behavior or free-ranging animals in the Azores region in November 2021, and May 2023. These data provide movement intensities, behaviors, and allow us to measure the environment including light, temperature, and the animal's depth. Here, we are submitting the tag data from the free-ranging animals in matrix form (.csv).

    These data include stable carbon isotopic measurements (d13C) of solid-phase extracted dissolved organic matter (SPE-DOC) from three GO-SHIP Repeat Hydrography Cruises transects P16N (151°W; 2015), P18 (103-110°W; 2016/2017), and I07N (50-70°E; 2018) aboard the NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown. The "weighted average depth" refers to that of seawater integrated between 0-200m and 2-4km depth. These data are used to compare carbon isotopic compositions of recalcitrant DOC to bulk DOC, yielding new insights toward the importance of the microbial carbon pump toward the sequestration of DOC in the global deep-ocean. This data accompanies an article currently in review at Geophysical Research Letters.

    This experiment assesses phenotypic plasticity of the ciliated band. This dataset contains estimates of the ciliated band generated by both direct measurement and by tracing of the band for non-pluteus larvae, used in evaluation of tracing as a proxy for direct measurement. The data was collected between 2020 and 2022 in the laboratory at California State University, Long Beach. For a complete list of measurements, refer to the full dataset description in the supplemental file 'Dataset_description.pdf'.
