Field Activity 2019-304-FA

Identifier 2019-304-FA
Purpose Monitoring and assessment of an autonomous carbonate system deployed in Tampa Bay, FL. The Ocean Carbon System (OCS) site will be visited routinely, approximately every 2-3 weeks, for equipment maintenance/service or more frequently should instrumentation troubleshooting be required.
Location Tampa Bay, Florida
Summary Data obtained from this system will include time series measurements of carbonate system parameters: water temperature (°C), conductivity (siemens), pressure (dbars), salinity, pHT (pH on the total scale), carbon dioxide (ppm), dissolved oxygen (micromol/L), and photosynthetically active radiation (microEinsteins).
Info derived Instrument functionality and accuracy.
Comments OCS version 2. This FAN will also be used for subsequent site visits.
