Description
Summary:pCO2 (partial pressure of carbon dioxide) was measured in multiple seasons and depths in coastal ecosystems as part of the Beaufort Lagoons Ecosystems LTER core sampling program. Sites include several Beaufort Lagoons from across the North Slope of Alaska and several river sites near the lagoons. Data includes averages of sensor data for each site and depth deployment of pCO2 (uatm), CO2 (ppm), water temperature (°C), and absolute pressure (kPa). Standard deviation is included for pCO2 (uatm). Surface measurements were taken either 30 cm below the water surface, or bottom of the ice in ice-cover season, and bottom measurements were taken 30 cm from the seafloor of the lagoons. For lagoon sites, data were logged every one or five minutes; for river sites data were recorded every five minutes. Each site and depth was recorded for at least 30 minutes and up to four hours and taken as spot measurement. ...
