Macquarie Harbour Dissolved Oxygen and Temperature Monitoring Data
This dataset consist of dissolved oxygen (DO) and temperature data collected using HOBO Dissolved Oxygen loggers (U26-001) under FRDC project 2016-067. Loggers are deployed on strings in two locations in Macquarie Harbour, Tasmania.

Resource constraints
- Use limitation
- The data described in this record are the intellectual property of the University of Tasmania through the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies. Note that this data set is uncleaned and includes air and surface values from deployment, retrieval, cap changes etc. Logger data of this nature naturally has occasional spikes and significant outliers should be examined and removed prior to analysis. By using this data you acknowledge that you understand these limitations.

- Statement
- Data was collected using HOBO Dissolved Oxygen loggers (U26-001), which measure DO and temperature, attached to vertical strings in 5 m intervals. Loggers use optical DO sensors that measure partial pressure and convert values to concentrations in mg/l assuming constant salinity. Data was converted back to % saturation after download to match other DO monitoring datasets for Macquarie Harbour and avoid inaccuracies due to varying salinities. Pre-deployment 0 % calibration checks resulted in readings ranging from 0.01 - 0.08 mg/l (Mean=0.043, SD=0.025), the manufacturer supplied sensor accuracy is 0.2 mg/l and sensor resolution is 0.02 mg/l. Temperature accuracy is 0.2 °C and temperature resolution is 0.02 °C. Sensors are cleaned and recalibrated every 3 months and sensor caps replaced every 6 months. Depth values are approximate deployment depths, not measured depths and have an estimated accuracy of +/- 0.5 m. Logger data of this nature naturally has occasional spikes and significant outliers should be examined and removed prior to analysis. By using this data you acknowledge that you understand these limitations.
