These data include air-sea difference - partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2), barometric pressure, oxygen, pCO2 - atmosphere, pCO2 - water, salinity, sea surface temperature, oxygen, pH on total scale, total chlorophyll, nephelometric turbidity unit and salinity-compensated dissolved oxygen. The instruments used to collect these data include Bubble type equilibrator for autonomous carbon dioxide (CO2) measurement, Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer, Humidity Sensor, oxygen meter and thermosalinographs. In May 2019, NOAA and partners established a new buoy in Fagatele Bay within National Marine Sanctuary of American Samoa to monitor ocean acidification in a vibrant tropical coral reef ecosystem. The National Marine Sanctuary of American Samoa, co-managed by NOAA and the American Samoa Government, is located in the cradle of Polynesia’s oldest culture and is thought to support the greatest diversity of marine life in the National Marine Sanctuary System, including a wide variety of coral and other invertebrates, marine plants, fishes, marine mammals, and turtles such as the critically endangered hawksbill sea turtle. The sanctuary protects extensive coral reefs, including some of the oldest and largest Porites coral heads in the world, along with deep water reefs, hydrothermal vent communities, rare marine archaeological resources, and important fishing grounds. Despite its small size, Fagatele Bay supports exceptional biodiversity, with more than 160 species of coral found within a quarter-square-mile. This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis. Funding Information: The buoy is primarily funded by NOAA’s Ocean Acidification Program with numerous partners, including NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory, Coral Reef Conservation Program, Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center, and National Marine Sanctuary of American Samoa, as well as the Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS), National Park of American Samoa, Department of Marine and WildlifeResources of American Samoa, and the Coral Reef Advisory Group of American Samoa.

NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information custodian carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer measures gaseous carbon dioxide Carbon dioxide gas analyzer has often been referred to as LI-COR, because a lot of researchers choose to use products manufactured by LI-COR incorporation for their carbon dioxide measurement. The main component of a carbon dioxide analyzer is a nondispersive infrared (NDIR) spectroscopic sensors to detect CO2 in a gaseous environment by its characteristic absorption. Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer works together with carbon dioxide (CO2) equilibrator (insttypes_id 184) to measure carbon dioxide in the water. To measure water carbon dioxide, water needs to be continuously supplied to a showerhead inside an equilibrator. As the water flows through the equilibrator chamber, dissolved carbon dioxide exchanges quickly with air in the headspace. This air is then sampled by the carbon dioxide analyzer to determine the mole fraction of CO2 in water. mooring mooring use as an observation type oxygen sensor oxygen sensor Any instrument that measures oxygen content in a compound. pH sensor pH sensor generic meter used to measure pH Any of a class of instruments used to quantify pH in a water or other type of sample. salinometer salinometer generic salinometer use salinometer when the instrument type used is unclear but the data include salinity measurements temperature sensor temperature sensor A sensor used to measure temperature.
