Description:

Abstract:

Crocker Reef was the site of an integrated reefscape characterization effort focused on calcification and related biogeochemical processes as part of the USGS Coral Reef Ecosystem Study (CREST) project. This effort included two intensive seasonal sampling trips to capture summer (July 8 to 17, 2014) and winter (January 29 to February 5, 2015) conditions. This data release represents water column microbial and environmental data collected for use as metadata in future publications examining reef metabolic processes via metagenomes derived from water samples and fine-scale temporal and spatial carbonate chemistry measurements. Microbial data are total bacterial counts per milliliter seawater, total viral counts per milliliter of seawater, and plate counts using Thiosulfate Citrate Bile Salts Sucrose (TCBS) agar of Vibrio (bacteria) per milliliter of seawater. Environmental data are water temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and pH.

Purpose:

Data were collected for use as metadata in future publications examining reef metabolic processes via metagenomes derived from water samples and fine-scale temporal and spatial carbonate chemistry measurements. Data were acquired during USGS field activity number (FAN) 2014-315-FA and 2015-303-FA; additional survey details are available at https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2014-315-FA and https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2015-303-FA. This dataset, Crocker_datarelease_2014-2015.csv, is included in a USGS data release that can be accessed online at https://doi.org/10.5066/F74Q7S25.

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

A YSI multimeter was used to measure temperature (+/-0.01 C), salinity (+/-0.01) and dissolved oxygen (+/-0.1 mg l-1). Samples were analyzed for total pH (pHT; +/-0.005) using an Ocean Optics spectrometer and thymol blue indicator dye. Bacterial and viral counts are averages of triplicate sample counts made on flow cytometry. Vibrio counts are averages of triplicate TCBS agar plate counts.

Logical_Consistency_Report: No formal logical accuracy tests were conducted.
Completeness_Report:

Dataset is considered complete for the information presented, as described in the abstract. Users are advised to read the rest of the metadata record carefully for additional details.
