This dataset contains monthly-averaged surface fields of temperature, salinity, total alkalinity (TA), and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) derived from the GoMBio model for 1981-2014. GoMBio is a ROMS-based 8-km resolution ocean-biogeochemical model encompassing the entire Gulf of Mexico. Model details can be found in Gomez et al. (2018; https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-15-3561-2018) and Gomez et al. (2020; https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-17-1685-2020).

This dataset contains water column and sediment geochemical data taken by bottle and bottom samples from research vessel Atlantis (cruise AT41) in the southeastern U.S. Atlantic margin in August 2018. Data include nutrients, nitrate, phosphorus, and other chemical characteristics. There are CTD data for this expedition archived at NCEI under accession number 0177873.

This dataset contains carbonate chemistry data from samples collected across the Philippines as part of the USAID-funded US Coral Triangle Initiative from 2012-03-12 to 2015-06-03. The project monitors changes to coral reef carbonate chemistry over time at coral reef sites within the Philippines by quantifying key chemical parameters that are expected to change with ocean acidification.

The oceanographic community routinely collects time-series data of hydrographic properties (temperature and salinity) of the marine environment. Such data are essential for establishing baseline characteristics of marine and estuarine ecosystems. This hydrographic data is from CTDs and thermistors on a mooring line at a small coastal ocean observing site 25 kilometers southwest of the mouth of Mobile Bay, Alabama (30.0902 N 88.2116 W), that the Dauphin Island Sea Lab has been operating since 2004. These data were collected from December 12 2018 to May 16 2019.

An inshore-to-offshore gradient in reef coral resilience to high temperatures exists in the Upper Florida Keys, with massive corals of the highly turbid nearshore reefs demonstrating higher capacity to resist summer bleaching than offshore conspecifics.

This dataset provides seasonal spatial rasters of predicted long-term (1980-2017) density of 33 individual species and 13 taxonomic groups of marine birds throughout the Pacific Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) and adjacent waters off the contiguous United States at 2-km spatial resolution. Two indications of the uncertainty associated with the model predictions are also provided: 1) seasonal spatial layers indicating areas with no survey effort and 2) seasonal spatial rasters of the precision of predicted density of each species/group characterized as its coefficient of variation (CV).

Shallow water conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) casts were performed by the NOAA Coral Reef Ecosystem Program (CREP) to characterize the spatial structure of the physical and chemical properties of the ocean environment at fixed climate sites located in coral reef habitats. This specific dataset represents the CTD casts performed alongside water samples in Batangas, Philippines in 2015.

This data package reports presence/absence and density data, and environmental data (temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen) collected in the northern Gulf of Mexico during R/V Blazing Seven cruises LF2015A and LF2015B from 2015-06-06 to 2015-07-25.

This dataset contains data from visual surveys by snorkelers using handheld GPS units to map extant live colonies of the threatened corals Acropora palmata and A. cervicornis in the upper Florida Keys. Appropriate habitat strata were targeted and prioritized from habitat maps in 2005. An initial survey was conducted in 2005-2007 of these reef areas, and follow-up surveys were conducted in 2013-2015. In 2018 the sites were re-surveyed to assess changes in distribution and/or abundance at the same reef areas.
