Details of GENIALG - WP6.1 Abiotic Dataset_Water

Dataset identification

Title of dataset	GENIALG - WP6.1 Abiotic Dataset_Water
Narrative summary of dataset	Part of Deliverable 6.1 of GENIALG Project. Datasets used for parametrisation and validation of models and evaluation of farm footprint. The dataset consists of continuous and spot sampling records of temperature, salinity (conductivity), turbidity, Secchi disk depths, irradiance (as PAR), nutrients and suspended matter content in water samples. Records obtain at Ventry Harbour test farm between September 2017 and October 2019 during GENIALG project (project ID: 727892, GENIALG - GENetic diversity exploitation for Innovative Macro-ALGal biorefinery, http://genialgproject.eu/). GENIALG was funded by the European Union Horizon2020 programme. The remit of the work was assessing the environmental footprint and ecosystem services provided by seaweed aquaculture in Europe to provide best practice advice to industry.
Summary of processing methodology	Temperature: raw data recorded by and downloaded from HOBO loggers. Exported as Excel files using manufacturer's (Onset) proprietary software. PAR: raw data recorded by and downloaded from Odyssey PAR loggers. Exported as csv files and compiled in Excel. Full dataset saved as csv file Conductivity: raw ASCII data (asc) downloaded from Seabird Microcat SBE 37-SM. Converted, compiled and saved as csv file. Turbidity: data recorded using RBR XR420ttu and RBR XR420 turbidity loggers. Downloaded as txt files and compiled into one csv dataset in Microsoft Excel. Nutrient data: absorbance measured using Biotek Gent5 Microplate reader. Exported as xpt and csv files. Compiled in Excel Suspended matter content in water: calculated using LOI method on filters, recording weighs by hand. Datasheet contents transferred onto Excel spreadsheets, saved as xlsx file.
