Multibeam bathymetry and acoustic backscatter data collected by NOAA Ship Nancy Foster from 2024-06-12 to 2024-06-18. These data were collected using a Kongsberg EM2040 multibeam echosounder (MBES). Bathymetry grids were created using Qimera; depths are referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88). Backscatter mosaics were created using Fledermaus Geocoder Toolbox (FMGT). Survey depths range from 25 to 33 meters. Processed grids are available at 0.5 and 1m resolution.

Multibeam and acoustic backscatter data collected from NOAA Ship Nancy Foster from 2023-05- 01 to 2023-05-10. The majority of these data were collected using a Kongsberg EM2040.
Bathymetry grids were created using Qimera, and corrected to Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW). Backscatter mosaics were created using Fledermaus Geocoder Toolbox (FMGT). Data were acquired and processed to meet IHO Order 1 specifications. Survey depths vary from 33m to 58m. Processed data are available at 2m resolution.

These data include the location, coordinates, species, and number of colonies for corals outplanted from coral nurseries for population enhancement in Florida, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands between 1993 and 2023. These data were compiled from permit reports for the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary and the State of Florida Special Activity License and from coral nursery operators.

The dataset includes UAS drone surveys of the water surface in Galveston Bay (entrance channel, Texas City Dyke), TX, and a section of Brazos River in College Station, TX. The UAS surveys are stored as .MOV files. The dominant wave measurements (wavelength, wave period, wave direction) are included in a txt file for each video analyzed.

The Marine Mammal Laboratories' California Current Ecosystem Program (AFSC/NOAA) in collaboration with Point Blue Conservation Science initiated long-term studies to determine pup abundance of the California Stock of northern fur seals. The California Stock is comprised of northern fur seals inhabiting San Miguel Island (and Castle Rock, and islet ~1 km northwest) and the Farallon Islands (specifically, Southeast Island) off California. Pup production is the sum of the numbers of live pups and dead pups for a given pupping season.

Marine sediment and water column samples were collected in nearshore habitats around the island of St. John, USVI during two sampling trips in late 2021 and early 2022 and following the landfall of two Category 5 hurricanes, Irma (landfall 2017-09-06) and Maria (landfall 2017-09-20). Marine sediment samples were analyzed for trace metals, organochlorine pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) compounds, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), butyltins, pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCP) and biological (Clostridium perfringens) contaminants.

Daily maximum and minimum air temperature data were obtained from the Global Historical Climatology Network daily (GHCNd, Menne, et al. 2012) and the Great Lakes Air Temperature/Degree Day Climatology, 1897-1983 (Assel et al. 1995). Daily air temperature was calculated by taking a simple average of daily maximum and minimum air temperature.

In 2024, the R/V Mirai conducted hydrographic survey in the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas. This dataset includes preliminary data of R/V Mirai 2024 Arctic cruise. Data and readme file were contained in the same directory.
Some data or sample are still under processing and analyzing. We would like to update them when we have done processing and analyzing. This dataset is U.S. State Department MSR U2024-006 as part of the World Data Service for Oceanography and Geophysics. Cruise data are available from the JAMSTEC DARWIN portal (see the Documentation).

The system records in-situ water quality data at a depth of 26 feet, including temperature, salinity, turbidity, backscatter, PAR (Photosynthetically Active Radiation), and currents, among other parameters. Additionally, climate data is collected at the surface, which includes wind, pressure, and PAR. This data is continuously gathered from a buoy located in Port Everglades, Florida, covering both the sea surface and the seafloor.

This dataset is comprised of many biochemical analyses performed throughout the course of a 90-day laboratory exposure experiments to determine the chronic effects of fine-sediment generated turbidity on the health of Orbicella faveolata coral nubbins. Biological endpoints such as photographs, buoyant weight and PAM fluorometry measurements were performed weekly, while tissue regeneration post-wounding, dry weight, total lipids, total proteins, and symbiont density were calculated at the end of the 90 day exposure.
