Several parameters were used to assess coral bleaching in the Florida Keys as part of NOAA’s Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP). The data described in this package are light, seawater pH, and coral symbiont assemblage data collected from the upper and lower Florida Keys. Light data was collected using a PAR sensor which measures light as photosynthetically active radiation (PAR, umol m-2 s-1). Seawater pH was collected using a SAMI pH sensor or a SeaBird SeaFET pH sensor. These sensors were located at the same sites as the PAR sensors and recorded pH hourly.

This dataset contains GPS positions/times from surface drifters of three different types: a thin 5-cm tall cylindrical hull, a 10-cm tall cylindrical hull, and a typical shallow drogued (CODE- or Davis-Style) drifter. Drifters were deployed offshore of Orange Beach, AL, in the Gulf of Mexico on 24 January 2017, and transmitted until 22 May, 2017.

This dataset includes surface underway, chemical, meteorological and physical data collected from NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans in 2018. These data include air-sea difference of partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2), barometric pressure, pCO2 in atmosphere, pCO2 in water, salinity and sea surface temperature. The instruments used to collect these data include CO2 gas analyzer and shower head chamber equilibrator for autonomous CO2 measurement. These data were collected by Denis Pierrot, Kevin F.

This dataset includes discrete bottle measurements of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), total alkalinity, pH on total scale, partial pressure of CO2, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), CFCs, temperature, salinity, oxygen, nutrients, and other variables measured during R/V N.B. Palmer cruise in the South Pacific Ocean on GO-SHIP/CLIVAR/SOCCOM Repeat Hydrography Sections P06W (EXPOCODE 320620170703) and P06E (EXPOCODE 320620170820) from 2017-07-03 to 2017-09-30. The Pacific Ocean P06 repeat hydrographic line was reoccupied for the US Global Ocean Carbon and Repeat Hydrography Program.

This dataset contains round trip acoustic travel time and ambient bottom pressure from bottom-mounted instruments spaced zonally along 34.5S in the SW Atlantic east of Uruguay, July 2011 to October 2016. The data were collected for the Southwest Atlantic meridional overturning circulation ("SAM") project by the NOAA-Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory. Both the processed/quality-controlled and the raw data files are available. Format is text.

A time-series of in situ seawater carbonate chemistry, dissolved major and minor metals as well as seawater environmental parameters was compiled from 2009 to 2017 in the shallow hydrothermal vents area around the Kuei-Shan-Tao volcano off Taiwan. The time-series coincided with a 2016 M5.8 Earthquake and a C5 Typhoon that change all the local seawater chemistry, providing an excellent opportunity to study seawater biogeochemical changes after catastrophic events. The sampling took place in the White and Yellow vents around the island as well as in grid format in the near offshore waters.

The North Brazil Current is a tropical western boundary current that is the main contributor to water mass transport from the South Atlantic into the North Atlantic. Estimates of the North Brazil Current transport and retroflected flow are carried out by NOAA/AOML using satellite altimetry as the main dataset, and hydrographic observations. For more information, please visit: http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/phod/indexes/index.php

The Agulhas Current is the western boundary current closing the upper-limb of the Indian Ocean subtropical gyre, and is largely linked with the transfer of warm water from the Indian Ocean to the South Atlantic subtropical gyre. This interbasin water exchange takes place mostly through mesoscale processes that occur when the Agulhas Current retroflects south of Africa between 15°E and 25°E. Estimates of the Agulhas Current are carried out by NOAA/AOML using satellite altimetry as the main dataset, and hydrographic observations.

Anglers were surveyed on their fishing related expenditures. Angler expenditures for the most recent trip in 2000, by fishing mode - for-hire, private boat, shore. Includes categories such as bait, ice, fuel, lodging, meals, transportation, etc. Expenditures on durable goods used in more than one fishing trip such as rods and reels, boats, vehicles, second homes. Expenditures were collected both as an add-on to the intercept, and a followup phone survey with those who completed the intercept and a separate random sample of households.

Maine to Virginia anglers were surveyed using an add-on to the basic angler interviews from the MRFSS program of NMFS. Revealed preference models provide insights into recreational angler behavior and the economic value of recreational fishing trips. Variables include reason for trip, length of trip, boat ownership, household income, whether or not they took time off from work without pay, and years of experience.
