Subsurface buoy data from a mooring site off the coast of Oregon, USA, collected from 2014-01-15 to 2015-08-25. The dataset includes partial pressure of carbon dioxide, pH, dissolved oxygen, temperature, and salinity from the Benthic Boundary Layer near the shelf break at hydro station NH-20. Data were collected using Submersible Autonomous Moored Instruments (SAMI-CO2, SAMI-pH) at a near-bottom depth of about 127 meters.
Use Cases
- Analyze coastal ocean acidification trends based on pH and pCO2 time series
- Study benthic boundary layer dynamics based on temperature and salinity data
- Model dissolved oxygen variability in coastal shelf environments
- Validate regional oceanographic models using high-frequency in-situ observations
Strengths
- Data covers a specific 19-month time series from 2014-01-15 to 2015-08-25
- Includes multiple key ocean chemistry variables (pCO2, pH, DO, temperature, salinity)
- Sensors were deployed at a precise location (44.65N, 124.5W) and depth (~2m above a 127m bottom)
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- Last updated 2015-08-25 00:00:00; freshness should be verified
