Temperature and dissolved oxygen recorded two PME Mindot O2 loggers in the Florida Keys from 11-17 July 2017

2021-04-23 , Huettel, Markus , Berg, Peter

This dataset presents the temperature and oxygen data recorded by the two PME Minidot loggers. The loggers were deployed July 11-17, 2017 in a subtropical inner shelf environment (Salinity: 35-36, temperature: 28-31°C) approximately 9 km south of Long Key in the Florida Keys (24° 43.52'N, 80° 49.85'W). The site was located at 9 ± 1 m water depth near the center of a large flat carbonate platform covered with coral sand. The instruments were installed on the 3OEC instrument at ~35 cm above the sediment-water interface.

Current flow, pressure, and oxygen concentrations recorded by the 3OEC-instrument in the Florida Keys from 11-17 July 2017

2021-04-23 , Huettel, Markus , Berg, Peter

This dataset presents the velocity and external sensor data recorded by the Nortek Vector ADV logger. The eddy covariance instrument was deployed July 11-17, 2017 in a subtropical inner shelf environment (Salinity: 35-36, temperature: 28-31°C) approximately 9 km south of Long Key in the Florida Keys (24° 43.52'N, 80° 49.85'W). The site was located at 9 ± 1 m water depth near the center of a large flat carbonate platform covered with coral sand. The measuring volume of the ADV was adjusted to be ~35 cm above the sediment-water interface.

Eddy correlation measurements of oxygen fluxes in permeable sediments exposed to varying current flow and light

Based on noninvasive eddy correlation measurements at a marine and a freshwater site, this study documents the control that current flow and light have on sediment–water oxygen fluxes in permeable sediments. The marine sediment was exposed to tidal-driven current and light, and the oxygen flux varied from night to day between −29 and 78 mmol m−2 d−1. A fitting model, assuming a linear increase in oxygen respiration with current flow, and a photosynthesis–irradiance curve for light-controlled production reproduced measured fluxes well (R2 = 0.992) and revealed a 4-fold increase in oxygen uptake when current velocity increased from ∼ 0 to 20 cm s−1. Application of the model to a week-long measured record of current velocity and light showed that net ecosystem metabolism varied substantially among days, between −27 and 31 mmol m−2 d−1, due to variations in light and current flow. This variation is likely typical of many shallow-water systems and highlights the need for long-term flux integrations to determine system metabolism accurately. At the freshwater river site, the sediment–water oxygen flux ranged from −360 to 137 mmol m−2 d−1. A direct comparison during nighttime with concurrent benthic chamber incubations revealed a 4.1 times larger eddy flux than that obtained with chambers. The current velocity during this comparison was 31 cm s−1, and the large discrepancy was likely caused by poor imitation by the chambers of the natural pore-water flushing at this high current velocity. These results emphasize the need for more noninvasive oxygen flux measurements in permeable sediments to accurately assess their role in local and global carbon budgets.

PAR recorded by two Odyssey PAR loggers in the Florida Keys from 11-17 July 2017

2021-04-23 , Huettel, Markus , Berg, Peter

This dataset presents the PAR light data recorded by the two Odyssey PAR loggers. The loggers were deployed July 11-17, 2017 in a subtropical inner shelf environment (Salinity: 35-36, temperature: 28-31°C) approximately 9 km south of Long Key in the Florida Keys (24° 43.52'N, 80° 49.85'W). The site was located at 9 ± 1 m water depth near the center of a large flat carbonate platform covered with coral sand. The instruments were installed on the 3OEC instrument at ~185 cm above the sediment-water interface.
