SAMIpH_Database_2012_2017.csv provides data for the years 2012 and 2017.DATE_UTC and TIME_UTC are the day and time at which the measurement was taken, in UTC. pHConstSal35 is the pH at a constant salinity of 35. TEMPERATURE and SALINITY are the water temperature (in degrees Celsius) and the water salinity (practical salinity units, i.e., no units) respectively. SAMICO2_Database_2013_2017.txt provides data between the years 2013 and 2017. DATE are the day and time at which the measurement was taken, in UTC and CO2 is the in situ pCO2 value (in uatm) recorded by the SAMI device The database provides measurements of the carbon system parameters pH and pCO2 obtained with SAMI sensors (Sunburst Sensors, LLC) attached to a mooring line deployed in the Strait of Gibraltar between the years 2012 and 2017. Temperature and salinity data were obtained with a Conductivity-Temperature probe (CT Seabird SBE37-SMP) also installed in the line. Sampling interval was initially set to 60 min, but a battery run off happened in summer 2013 (which caused a six-month data gap) advised changing the interval to 120min to extend the battery life. This research was supported by the COMFORT project that has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 820989 (project COMFORT, "Our common future ocean in the Earth system – quantifying coupled cycles of carbon, oxygen, and nutrients for determining and achieving safe operating spaces with respect to tipping points).” Funding was also provided by grant EQC2018-004285-P funded by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 and by “ERDF A way of making Europe”.
