Abbreviations in headers of datasets
Note: Two data sets are provided in different formats. Raw and cleaned (adj).  These are the same data with the PAR column moved over to PAR.all for analysis.  All headers are the same.  The cleaned (adj) dataframe will work with the R syntax below, alternative add code to do cleaning in R.

8) Rapid light curve data
Pre LC: A yield measurement prior to the following measurement
After 10.0 sec at 0.5% to 8%: Level of each of the 8 steps of the rapid light curve
Odessey PAR (only in some deployments): An extra measure of PAR (umols) using an Odessey data logger
Dataflow PAR: An extra measure of PAR (umols) using a Dataflow sensor. 
PAM PAR: This is copied from the PAR or PAR2 column 
PAR all: This is the complete PAR file and should be used 
Deployment: Identifying which deployment the data came from 

Respiration chamber biomass data
The data is chlorophyll a biomass from cores from the respiration chambers. The headers are: Depth (mm) Treat (Acidified or control) Chl a (pigment and indicator of biomass) Core (5 cores were collected from each chamber, three were analysed for chl a), these are psudoreplicates/subsamples from the chambers and should not be treated as replicates. 

Associated R script file for pump cycles of respirations chambers
Associated respiration chamber data to determine the times when respiration chamber pumps delivered treatment water to chambers. Determined from Aquation log files (see associated files).  Use the chamber cut times to determine net production rates.  Note: Users need to avoid the times when the respiration chambers are delivering water as this will give incorrect results.  The headers that get used in the attached/associated R file are start regression and end regression.  The remaining headers are not used unless called for in the associated R script.  The last columns of these datasets (intercept, ElapsedTimeMincoef) are determined from the linear regressions described below.  
To determine the rate of change of net production, coefficients of the regression of oxygen consumption in discrete 180 minute data blocks were determined. R squared values for fitted regressions of these coefficients were consistently high (greater than 0.9). We make two assumptions with calculation of net production rates: the first is that heterotrophic community members do not change their metabolism under OA; and the second is that the heterotrophic communities are similar between treatments.

Combined dataset pH, temperature, oxygen, salinity, velocity for experiment
This data is rapid light curve data generated from a Shutter PAM fluorimeter.  There are eight steps in each rapid light curve.  Note: The software component of the Shutter PAM fluorimeter for sensor 44 appeared to be damaged and would not cycle through the PAR cycles.  Therefore the rapid light curves and recovery curves should only be used for the control chambers (sensor ID43).  
The headers are 
PAR: Photoactive radiation 
relETR: F0/Fm x PAR
Notes:  Stage/step of light curve
Treatment: Acidified or control
The associated light treatments in each stage. Each actinic light intensity is held for 10 seconds, then a saturating pulse is taken (see PAM methods).  
After 10.0 sec at 0.5% = 1 umols PAR
After 10.0 sec at 0.7% = 1 umols PAR
After 10.0 sec at 1.1% = 0.96 umols PAR
After 10.0 sec at 1.6%  = 4.32 umols PAR
After 10.0 sec at 2.4% = 4.32 umols PAR
After 10.0 sec at 3.6% = 8.31 umols PAR
After 10.0 sec at 5.3% =15.78 umols PAR
After 10.0 sec at 8.0% = 25.75 umols PAR
