Climatic data from the meteorological station of Mare Longue (primary forest, 300m of elevation) UMR PVBMT

To estimate organic carbon (photosynthesis-respiration) and calcium carbonate (calcification-dissolution) budgets on La Saline fringing reef, measurements of light, temperature, salinity, current and water chemistry (dissolved oxygen, pH, total alkalinity) were carried out at 5 sites (Toboggan, Livingstone, Trou d'Eau, Bodega and on the reef slope) over 5 periods (February-March 2020, October 2020, April 2021, October 2021 and June 2022). These data were used to characterize the natural spatio-temporal variability of seawater chemistry and to identify the influence of local factors on this variability. They also provided an opportunity to study the feasibility of a one-dimensional Eulerian approach of the flow respirometry method on La Saline fringing reef for estimating organic carbon and calcium carbonate budgets, and to calculate these budgets for two sectors (Toboggan and Trou d'Eau/Bodega).
