Field Activity 2022-333-FA

Identifier 2022-333-FA
Purpose Site visit to coral calcification monitoring stations to measure coral and algal calcification rates as well as collect CTD, dissolved 02, wave sensor data and temperature data. Assess Hurricane Ian damage to corals and instruments and perform recovery/stabilization actions
Location Dry Tortugas National Park (Key West, FL)
Summary Successful site visit, sensor data downloaded and calcification rates recorded.
Info derived Mass of calcium carbonate gained per unit time for coral Acropora palmata and crustose coralline algal communities on nylon tiles. Hourly temperature data for past 6 months. Conductivity, temperature and depth. Dissolved Oxygen. Wave sensor data.
Comments Entries for this field activity are based on entries from Field Activity 2022-313-FA. Other equipment for Dissolved Oxygen is - Hobo dissolved Oxygen data logger U26-001 Other equipment for the Wave Sensor is - RBR SoloD.wave
