Dataset Abstract
As part of the larger NSF WSC funded project, an SF6 tracer study was conducted in November of 2010 by working groups form ENP, FIU and Univ. of Hawaii. This work included the release of the tracer (SF6), which was sampled in a lagrangian approach as the tracer “patch” moved from the fresh water portion of the system to the mangrove ecotone along the Shark and Harney Rivers. The goal of this study was to measure carbon export through the system. Annie Palya used our new CRDS system to measure the isotopic composition (Delta13C) of the DOM & DIC (analyzed at RSMAS) during this study, as carbon isotopes may help to resolve different sources of carbon. This analytical approach is relatively new, and will be important for understanding the C-dynamics within the FCE.

Intellectual Rights
These data are classified as 'Type II' whereby original SFWSC experimental data collected by individual SFWSC researchers are to be released to restricted audiences according to terms specified by the owners of the data. Type II data are considered to be exceptional and should be rare in occurrence. The justification for exceptions must be well documented and approved by the lead PI and Site Data Manager. Some examples of Type II data restrictions may include: locations of rare or endangered species, data that are covered under prior licensing or copyright (e.g., SPOT satellite data), or covered by the Human Subjects Act, Student Dissertation data and those data related to the SFWSC project but not funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) WSC program (EAR-1204762) and the NIFA Award Number 2012-67003-19862. Researchers that make use of Type II Data may be subject to additional restrictions to protect any applicable commercial or confidentiality interests.
