        abstract:  This dataset includes measurements of sea surface temperature, salinity, dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, pH_NBS and Colored Dissolved Organic Matter (CDOM) from time series stations in Delaware Bay from 2016-05-09 to 2016-08-24. In the environment of the Murderkill Estuary and Delaware Bay (Delaware, USA), the Honeywell Durafet proved capable of making high-resolution and high-frequency pH measurements on the total scale between pH 6.8 and 8.4. Natural pH fluctuations of >1 pH were routinely captured over a range of timescales. The experiment demonstrated the viability of the Honeywell Durafet to the measurement of pH to within the weather-level precision defined by the Global Ocean Acidification Observing Network (GOA-ON, less than 0.02 pH) as a part of future estuarine CO2 chemistry studies undertaken in dynamic environments.
        purpose:  To assess the performance of the Honeywell Durafet for pH measurement in estuaries with broad salinity ranges and wide ranges of time-varying salinities.

(2010).; Abbreviation: pH^Cond_DIC-TA; Unit: pH; Uncertainty: Not Reported; Researcher name: Stephen F. Gonski; Researcher institution: University of Delaware, School of Marine Science and Policy (now at: University of Calgary, Department of Geography).

                description:  Parameter or Variable: Excess Alkalinity. Difference between measured total alkalinity and alkalinity calculated from measured DIC and pH^field_NBS. The latter value was calculated in the Excel macro CO2SYS (Pierrot et al., 2006) using the norganic carbon dissociation constants of Millero et al. (2006), the bisulfate ion acidity constant of Dickson (1990), and the boron-to-chlorinity ratio of Lee et al. (2010).; Abbreviation: Del_TA; Unit: umol kg-1; Uncertainty: Not reported; Researcher name: Stephen F. Gonski; Researcher institution: University of Delaware, School of Marine Science and Policy (now at: University of Calgary, Department of Geography) .

            description:  measures dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) A known amount of seawater is dispensed into a stripping chamber where it is acidified and purged with an inert gas. The amount of CO2 in the resulting gas stream is determined by absorbing the CO2 in an absorbent. The pH of the solution is monitored by measuring the transmittance .
