This dataset contains carbonate system data collected by scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center to investigate the effects of carbon cycling, coastal and ocean acidification on the Tampa Bay estuary located in west central Florida and eastern Gulf of Mexico. Discrete seawater samples were collected periodically (every few weeks to months) at repeat monitoring locations. Water samples were analyzed by the USGS Carbon Analytical Laboratory in St. Petersburg Florida. This dataset contains time series measurements of carbonate system parameters including: water temperature (Celsius, C), salinity, dissolved oxygen (milligrams/L), total alkalinity (TA, micromoles/kg), dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC, micromoles/kg), pHT (pH on the total scale), nitrate + nitrite (NO3+NO2, micromoles/L), nitrite (NO2, micromoles/L), silicate (SIL, micromoles/L), ammonium (NH4, micromoles/L) and phosphate (PO4, micromoles/L).
This dataset was acquired to assist USGS staff with the quantification, analysis and interpretation of geochemical time series data that will ultimately be used in assessments and research of, or related to carbon cycling, coastal and ocean acidification. Data were collected during USGS field activity numbers (FAN) 2018-374-FA, 2019-304-FA and 2019-308-FA.

Public domain data from the U.S. Government are freely redistributable with proper metadata and source attribution. The U.S. Geological Survey requests to be acknowledged as originators of the data in future products or derivative research. Measured TA values included in this dataset may not be suitable to use for calculating carbonate system parameters, due to the potential influence of organic alkalinity on these values.

Acknowledgment of the USGS St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center, as a data source would be appreciated in products developed from these data, and such acknowledgment as is standard for citation and legal practices for data source is expected. Sharing of new data layers developed directly from these data would also be appreciated by the USGS staff.

Accuracy of total alkalinity and dissolved inorganic carbon measurements is determined by measuring certified reference materials (CRMs) supplied by SCRIPPS Institute of Oceanography (Andrew Dickson) and comparing measured to known values. CRM analyses are performed daily before and after analysis of samples. Sample values are corrected to CRMs using a correction factor based on the difference between the known and measured values of the CRMs. Precision is determined by repeat analysis of samples and CRMs. Spectrophotometric pH measurements require no calibration. Precision of pH analysis is determined by repeat measurements of replicate samples. Nutrient analyses were performed by the University of Tampa (Dr. Robert Masserini). YSI meters used to collect ancillary data were calibrated daily. Missing values are denoted with an entry value of -99.
The discrete data were generated using certified reference materials to correct measured values and validate the quality of the data reported. Missing data were the result of either technological failure, or lack of data collection due to sampling design or inclement weather. Quality flags indicating the status of individual data points are as follows; Flag 0 = No quality control, Flag 1 = Good data, Flag 2= Probably good data, Flag 3 = Probably bad data, Flag 4 = Bad data, Flag 5 = Changed by analyst due to correction, Flag 9 = The value of the element is missing.
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.
Accuracy was checked against global positioning system (GPS) values provided by the manufacture, Garmin GPSMAP64st and Garmin GPSmpa60CSx FPSMAP60 accuracy < 10 meters (m).
Accuracy was checked against GPS values provided by the manufacture, Garmin GPSMAP64st and Garmin GPSmpa60CSx FPSMAP60 accuracy <10 m.
Water sampling procedures, analytical methods, QAQC and data quality flagging procedures are described in Yates and others (2019). Nutrient measurements were performed by Dr. Robert Masserini of the University of Tampa using methods in Gordon L.I., Jennings Jr, J.C., Ross, A.A., Krest, J.M., A Suggested Protocol For Continuous Flow Automated Analysis of Seawater Nutrients: WOCE Operation Manual, WHP Office Rept 90-1, WOCE Report 77 No 68/91, 1-52. As revised by Ross, A.A., 2000. Replicate sample bottles (duplicates or triplicates) were collected during many of the sampling periods and individual measurements for each bottle were reported.

Water samples from the Tampa Bay study site were collected from mid-water column at approximately 2.6 m water depth. Total water depth at the Tampa Bay study site was approximately 4.6 m. Water samples from the eastern Gulf of Mexico study site were collected at approximately 0.7 m water depth. Total water depth at the Gulf of Mexico study site was approximately 50 m.
