The Dataset's Variables and Attributes

Row Type	Variable Name	Attribute Name	Data Type	Value
attribute	NC_GLOBAL	abstract	String	This time series dataset includes weekly estimates of Sargassum influx and discrete seawater samples of dissolved oxygen, pH and total alkalinity, dissolved inorganic carbon, aragonite saturation state, pCO2 and measurements of temperature and salinity from 2019 to 2024. These are used to track the dynamics on local carbon chemistry and dissolved oxygen before, during and after a Sargassum inundation event in regional coastal and near-shore zones at the southwest part of Puerto Rico.

DO samples are analyzed using a Metler Toledo DL 50 in a period no longer than 24 hours after sampling. The samples are acidified with 10 N sulfuric acid and allowed to stand for one hour to dissolve the precipitate. Thiosulfate solution (0.01 N) is standardize with a potassium iodate standard solution (0.01 N). Samples are titrated with the thiosulfate solution in duplicates. The DO is calculated using the equations of Strickland and Parson (1972).

M-cresol purple is used as the indicator dye and absorbances are recorded at 434, 488 ,578 and 730-750 nm. Methanol and distilled water are used to rinse between runs. The pH value is calculated considering the Henderson-Hasselbalch and Beer-Lambert Law equations, in-situ salinities and temperatures, laboratory temperature and extinction coefficients for the dye. Each sample is analyzed in duplicate in 10 cm pathlength quartz cylindrical cells with distilled water in the background over a wavelength range to 430 to 750 nm at 1.0 nm intervals.

attribute	Sargassumbiomass	comment	String	The weekly Sargassum biomass influx (kg∙m-1∙Wk-1) is quantified by transfering the Sargassum accumulated in traps to a mesh bag, and weighted on-site using an electronic fish scale. Sargassum traps are constructed with PVC pipe and plastic mesh (0.63 x 0.5 x 0.63 m; depth x width x height), deployed facing the prevailing southeasterly winds on the seaward edge.
