Data sets

A compiled data product of profile, discrete biogeochemical measurements from 35 individual cruise data sets collected from a variety of ships in the southern Salish Sea and northern California Current System (Washington state marine waters) from 2008-02-04 to 2018-10-19 (NCEI Accession 0238424) Simone R. Alin et al. https://doi.org/10.25921/zgk5-ep63

A multi-stressor data product for marine heatwave, hypoxia, and ocean acidification research, including calculated inorganic carbon parameters from the southern Salish Sea and northern California Current System from 2008-02-04 to 2018-10-19 (NCEI Accession 0283266) Simone R.

Short summary

We provide a new multi-stressor data product that allows us to characterize the seasonality of temperature, O₂, and CO₂ in the southern Salish Sea and delivers insights into the impacts of major marine heatwave and precipitation anomalies on regional ocean acidification and hypoxia. We also describe the present-day frequencies of temperature, O₂, and ocean acidification conditions that cross thresholds of sensitive regional species that are economically or ecologically important.
