This dataset contains laboratory experiment data that were collected to examine the effects of ocean acidification on shell condition and survival of Puget Sound pteropods. We tested whether the thecosome pteropod Limacina helicina from Puget Sound, an urbanized estuary in the northwest continental US, experiences shell dissolution and altered mortality rates when exposed to the high CO2, low aragonite saturation state (Ωa) conditions that occur in Puget Sound and the northeast Pacific Ocean.

Seaglider is a buoyancy driven autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) developed by scientists and engineers at the University of Washington's School of Oceanography and Applied Physics Laboratory. Seagliders are designed to glide from the ocean surface to a programmed depth and back while measuring temperature, salinity, depth-averaged current, and other quantities along a sawtooth trajectory through the water. Seaglider has entered wide use in scientific deployments. They are designed for missions in range of several thousand kilometers and durations of many months.

This dataset contains data collected during the Salinity Processes in the Upper Ocean Regional Study - North Atlantic Field Campaign (SPURS-1). The campaign consisted of a variety of observing assets. SPURS-1 took place in the subtropical North Atlantic in 2012-2014. The purpose of the experiment was to examine the processes responsible for maintaining the subtropical surface salinity maximum in the North Atlantic Ocean.

Profiles were taken with a Sea-Bird SBE-911 plus CTD from the R/V Kilo Moana on cruise KM1123 2011-08-11 to 2011-08-25 in the vicinity of Station ALOHA, the Hawaii Ocean Time series site about 60 nm north of Oahu, Hawaii. There were seven profiles. The maximum depth of each cast varied from near 250 m to near 2000 m. The cruise is associated with the Comparative Analysis of Marine Ecosystem Organization (CAMEO) project, under guidance of chief scientist, Dr. Brian Popp of the University of Hawaii. The data include temperature, salinity, fluorescence, oxygen, and PAR.

This dataset contains laboratory experiment data that were collected to examine the effects of venting and decompression on Yellow Tang (Zebrasoma flavescens) in the marine ornamental aquarium fish trade. Serum cortisol is used as a proxy for stress in fish. Data are untransformed serum cortisol in ng/ml in yellow tang (Zebrasoma flavescens) fish subjected to different ascent treatments (no decompression stops, ascent with one decompression stop, and ascent with many short decompression stops) coupled with venting (yes, no) in all possible (k=6) combinations.

This dataset is a point shapefile showing the distribution of species richness, Shannon's Diversity (H), and Shannon's Evenness (J) along the Florida Keys (Key Biscayne to Key West based on data collected from 1980 through 2010. Point estimates of species richness, Shannon's diversity (H), and Evenness were derived from Reef Visual Census (RVC) Surveys. RVC surveys were conducted using a cooperative multi-agency Reef Fish Monitoring Protocol for the Florida Keys Coral Reef Ecosystem (Menza et al., 2006; Brandt et al., 2009).

Hatchery-reared adult and juvenile oysters were placed at 0.1 m and 1.0 m above bottom at Sand Reef and Denton Reef, Mobile Bay, Alabama between May 26 and Sep 21, 2010, along with YSI sondes to measure temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen concentration. Oysters were sampled every two weeks for growth rate and protein analysis of heat shock proteins (Hsp 70).

As part of the joint US-Russian RUSALCA (Russian US Long-term Census of the Arctic Ocean) Program, a team of US and Russian scientists undertook oceanographic cruises in summers of 2004-2012 on board the Russian Research Vessel Professor Khromov, the Russian vessel Sever, or the Academik M. A. Lavrentiev. The primary objective of these cruises was mooring work in the Bering Strait region.
