S. Geological Survey Online_Linkage: https://doi.org/10.5066/F7Q23XSF Description: Abstract: 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. Discrete seawater samples were collected along spatial transects at one to four hour intervals over 24-hour time periods. Water samples were analyzed at the USGS Carbon Analytical Laboratory in St. Petersburg Florida. This data set 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, micromols/L), nitrite (NO2, micromols/L), silicate (SIL, micromols/L), ammonium (NH4, micromols/L) and phosphate (PO4, micromols/L). Purpose: 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.

The U.S. Geological Survey requests to be acknowledged as originators of the data in future products or derivative research. Measured TA 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.

Sharing of new data layers developed directly from these data would also be appreciated by the USGS staff. Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: Accuracy of TA and DIC 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 University of Tampa (R. Masserini). YSI meters used to collect ancillary data were calibrated daily. Missing values are denoted with an entry of -999. Logical_Consistency_Report: 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 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. Completeness_Report: Data set 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.
