382.9 KB of high-resolution dissolved oxygen and carbon dioxide measurements collected during a multi-month deployment in 2025 using the Gradient Exchange Mass Spectrometry (GEMS) system in a Zostera marina meadow near Woods Hole, Massachusetts. The dataset includes photosynthetically active radiation, water temperature, dissolved gas concentrations, gradients, turbulence parameters, and derived flux estimates. Matthew Long authored this work, supported by NSF Award 2023069.
Use Cases
- Analyze diel variability in ecosystem metabolism based on continuous dissolved oxygen and carbon dioxide measurements.
- Model benthic gas fluxes based on vertical concentration gradients and friction velocity parameters.
- Evaluate seasonal changes in coastal eelgrass ecosystem productivity based on photosynthetically active radiation and water temperature data.
- Validate high-frequency in-situ measurement platforms based on the GEMS system's deployment methodology.
Strengths
- Includes high-resolution, continuous measurements over a multi-month deployment in 2025.
- Contains derived flux estimates calculated from measured gradients and turbulence scaling parameters.
- Supported by NSF Award 2023069, indicating a research-grade provenance.
Limitations
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Data is limited to a single eelgrass meadow near Woods Hole, Massachusetts, in 2025.
