title: Long-term observations of daily acoustic travel time along the SAMBA transect at PIES Mooring P7 (September 2013 – August 2015)

description: South Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (SAMOC-SA)
description: Here we present processed travel time from a Pressure-equipped Inverted Echo Sounder (PIES) located at a depth of 5030m at location P7 (34.498°S; 03.719°E) along the South Atlantic MOC Basin-scale Array (SAMBA) transect in the Cape Basin region of the South Atlantic Ocean, between 9 September 2013 and 06 August 2015. The South African component of the international South Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation project (SAMOC-SA) aims to characterise the time-mean and time-varying components of the SAMOC in the South Atlantic Ocean and monitor the variability of the main Southern Ocean frontal systems associated with the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), south of Africa. 
description: A bottom-mounted, upward-looking, Pressure-equipped Inverted Echo Sounder was deployed at a depth of 5030m at location P7 (34.498°S; 03.719°E) along the South Atlantic MOC Basin-scale Array (SAMBA) transect in the Cape Basin region of the South Atlantic Ocean. The instrument measured hourly bottom pressure and acoustic travel time (Tau), between 9 September 2013 and 06 August 2015. Measurements were de-tided, de-drifted, and de-spiked, using standard published University of Rhode Island (URI) software and protocols. A 72-hour 2nd order Butterworth filter was applied to hourly bottom pressure and acoustic travel time (Tau) observations. Tau values were then calibrated to a nominal pressure of 1000 db, and together with pressure observations, Tau was then subsampled to one value per day at noon (UTC). Bottom pressure anomalies have been computed relative to the record length average.

title: Temperature data from an exposed habitat in Elands Bay, 11 to 30 November 2022

description: Temperature data from an exposed habitat in Elands Bay, 11 to 30 November 2022.
description: To better understand the physiological effects of climate change and ocean acidification on marine organisms, information on the environmental conditions experienced in their natural habitats is required. Data from long-term monitoring studies capture in situ variability of environmental parameters that are used to relate experimental findings with field conditions. Elands Bay on the west coast of South Africa is a key location for such research and monitoring. It is a popular location for West Coast rock lobster fishing and therefore an important sentinel site for a commercial fishery species and the benthic communities upon which it depends. Low pH conditions exist along the west coast due to effects of upwelling, while cold-bottom waters in Elands Bay often result in low oxygen events responsible for mass walkouts of rock lobster. Additional exposure to extreme stressors associated with climate change can exacerbate impacts on their physiological processes. For example, acute thermal stress experienced during a marine heatwave may cause a rapid deterioration of cellular processes and performances beyond tolerance limits, affecting survival, growth and development. In South Africa, occurrences of marine heatwaves are increasing all along the coastline, and occur on average at least once a year. Data on temperature extremes are therefore important to design experiments and calculate thermal windows. We initiated long-term monitoring of inshore environmental parameters in Elands Bay by deploying temperature loggers in representative habitat types: intertidal rock pools varying in surface area, volume and position along the shore, sun-exposed habitats, and subtidal habitats.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          The sun-exposed logger is situated at the nearby Fisheries Research office where it is attached underneath the gutter close to the top of the roof (facing the sun but shaded). Here we present the cleaned up version of temperature data from an exposed habitat from 11 to 30 November 2022. 
description: The details of the exposed logger are captured in the 'README' file. The HOBO TidbiT temperature logger was set to record temperature every 5 minutes. The logger is attached to the gutter at the back of the Fisheries Research office situated in Elands Bay. Data were extracted from the loggers using HOBOware Pro software and exported into Excel files. Times are GMT+2. The data available are the clean files (i.e. only temperatures recorded once logger was placed in its exposed position). To avoid the inclusion of any 'handling' temperatures in the clean datasets, the temperatures extracted are from ten minutes once loggers are deployed, and 10 minutes before they are removed to download data.

description: The details of the subtidal habitat are captured in the 'README' file. The HOBO TidbiT temperature logger was set to record temperature every 5 minutes. The logger is enclosed inside a plastic housing embedded in a cement mooring block. The mooring block is held in place by a chain secured to a ledge. Data were extracted from the loggers using HOBOware Pro software and exported into Excel files. Times are GMT+2. The data available are the raw files (all temperatures even outside of the water) and 'clean' files where only the temperatures recorded once loggers were submerged are provided. Clean data are presented here for the subtidal. To avoid the inclusion of any 'handling' temperatures in the clean datasets, the temperatures extracted are from ten minutes once the logger is deployed, and 10 minutes before it is removed to download data.
