Description
The diel suite is an autonomous instrument package that measures diel variability in coral reef oceanographic conditions and seawater carbonate chemistry. Diel suite surveys are conducted by the NOAA Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC), Ecosystem Sciences Division (ESD) within coral reef ecosystems across the Pacific Islands Region as part of the NOAA National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP). The data provided in this data set are from diel suites deployed at sites in Guam, Aguijan, Maug, and Pagan, Mariana Archipelago in 2017 and 2022.
Diel suites were deployed on the reef for at least 24 hours to measure in-situ salinity, temperature, pressure, pH, current direction and magnitude, dissolved oxygen, and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR). Seawater samples were also collected for laboratory analyses of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and total alkalinity (TA). Components of the carbonate system--including pH, pCO2 (partial pressure of carbon dioxide), and aragonite saturation state--are calculated from DIC, TA, temperature, salinity and pressure. Each diel suite typically consisted of: 1 SBE-19plus or RBR concerto3 CTD sensor, 1 Nortek Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP), 1 Satlantic SeaFET Ocean pH sensor, 1 SBE or RBR dissolved oxygen sensor (2022 only), 1 RBR photosynthetically active radiation sensor (2022 only), 1 tilt current meter (2022 only), and up to 9 Programmable Underwater Collectors (PUCs, 2017) or Sub-surface Automated Samplers (SAS, 2022), each of which collected a water sample at set intervals. Instruments deployed, samples collected, and sample intervals are recorded in the summary file enclosed with the data package, and exceptions to the standard diel suite are also noted.
