Daily sea surface temperature in Santa Barbara channel between 1982 and 2023
This data package contains sea surface temperature (SST) data in the Santa Barbara Channel area. Data was obtained from the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) at 0.25° resolution for the time between 1982 and 2023. This Daily Optimum Interpolation Sea Surface Temperature (OISST) Analysis (Version 2.1) derived its data from satellite (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR)) and in situ platforms (i.e., ships and buoys) and yielded 18 gird points within the Santa Barbara Channel.

(3) An R script for generating generalized additive models (GAMs) to predict nitrate concentrations at the surface and at the mixed layer depth using the collocated data in files 1 & 2. (4) Daily maps of satellite sea surface chlorophyll concentrations (SSChl), High-frequency radar (HFR) surface currents, weather research and forecasting (WRF) model wind-derived vertical velocities, estimated nitrate concentrations at the surface and mixed layer depth, horizontal advective nitrate fluxes at the surface and vertical advective nitrate fluxes.

Functional Trait Measurements of Macroalgal Communities in the Santa Barbara Channel
This dataset contains trait and elemental composition data for macroalgal samples collected across depth gradients at multiple sites in the Santa Barbara Channel, California. Each sample represents an individual specimen characterized by morphological measurements (e.g., blade thickness, stipe diameter, total height), biomass of anatomical parts (blade, stipe, holdfast, reproductive tissue), and anchoring strength. In addition, biochemical traits—including carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and hydrogen (H) content—were measured from tissue samples analyzed in the analytical laboratory. These data support a trait-based modeling approach to macroalgal community structure and distribution, contributing to our understanding of functional diversity and ecosystem dynamics in temperate marine systems. Accompanying metadata include collection site, date, time, depth, location coordinates, and substrate type, providing context for environmental variation across samples.
SBC LTER: Ocean: Ocean hourly temperature at nearshore locations along the Northern Channel Islands in the Santa Barbara Channel, ongoing since 2000
Ocean in-situ temperature data were collected at nearshore sites along the Northern Channel Islands in the Santa Barbara Channel. The earliest temperature records started in April 2000. The temporal coverage varies at each site. At the start of the temperature data collection, the tidbit or hobo sensors were deployed on a mooring line at approximate 3 m, 9m, and 14 m nominal depths, and the sampling interval is 2 minutes. In 2013, the 3 m and 9 m temperature sensors were terminated and only 14 m sensors continued. In addition, the sampling interval changed to 15 minutes. This data package presents hourly average in-situ temperature data. The original raw data (2-min interval) between 2000-2010 were published on DataOne https://search.dataone.org/portals/PISCO. Data can be viewed and accessed by zooming in the Northern Channel Islands in the Santa Barbara Channel region and searching the keyword "physical oceanography moored temperature data". These datasets were funded and managed by The Partnership for Interdisciplinary Studies of Coastal Oceans (PISCO). In 2013, the maintenance of the sensor deployment was transferred to NOAA National Marine Sanctuaries, and Santa Barbara Coastal LTER has been responsible for data download and processing.
SBC LTER: Reef: Sightings of sea otters (Enhydra lutris) near Santa Barbara and Channel Islands, ongoing since 2007
These data describe the number, location and activity or behavior of sea otters (Enhydra lutris) individuals observed along the Santa Barbara Coast and local Channel Islands, during SBC LTER field sampling. Observations began in 2007. Records are collected regularly at SBC core sites and opportunistically while research staff are underway or travelling between sites. Locations are included, but some latitudes and longitudes are approximate.
Physiological and biochemical data for an experiment examining transgenerational effects in response to MHWs in S. purpuratus from the Santa Barbara Channel
Kelp forests of the Santa Barbara Channel have experienced prolonged marine heatwave (MHW) events that overlap in time with the phenology of life history events (e.g., gametogenesis and spawning) of marine invertebrates. To study the effect of thermal stress from MHWs during gametogenesis in the purple sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus), adult urchins were acclimated to two conditions in the laboratory – a MHW (18°C) and a non-MHW (13°C) temperature at a time when gametogenesis would occur in situ. Following a four-month long acclimation period (October– January), adults were spawned and offspring from each parental condition were reared at MHW and non-MHW temperatures, creating a total of four offspring treatments. To assess for transgenerational effects in gamete traits, we measured egg size and biochemical composition. In addition, evidence of transgenerational effects was assessed by measuring embryo size and thermal tolerance of the progeny. Results indicated that MHW temperatures did affect life history traits. MHW-acclimated females had eggs with higher protein concentrations. Additionally, maternal thermal history influenced embryo body size at multiple stages of development while offspring developmental temperatures influenced body size only at the prism stage. Lastly, embryos from MHW-acclimated females were more thermally tolerant with higher LT50 values as compared to progeny from non-MHW-acclimated females. Overall, results showed that the thermal history of female S. purpuratus and developmental temperature influenced offspring traits and performance indicating that prolonged thermal stress, when it occurs during critical life history events, could influence reproductive success in situ. Moreover, our results suggest that transgenerational acclimation may aid in the capacity to resist the thermal stress associated with MHWs during early development in S. purpuratus.
Darwin Core Archive: Santa Barbara Channel fish surveys at deep reefs: Footprint, Piggy Bank, Anacapa Passage
The dataset contains fish surveys from deep natural reefs in the northern Santa Barbara Channel Islands, Southern California, mainly at reefs named Piggy Bank, Footprint (local names) and Anacapa Passage. Data collection began in 1995. Reefs are located at depths between 30 and 360 m (100 and 1,180 feet). Sampling was by the manned submersibles Delta and DualDeepworker and an unmanned Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV). These sites included a wide range of such habitats as banks, ridges, and carbonate reefs, ranging in size from a few kilometers in length to less than a hectare in area. On these features, we focused on hard bottom macrohabitats, including kelp beds, boulder and cobble fields, and bedrock outcrops. Transects were not deliberately revisited; some reefs were surveyed as many as four times per year. All transects are 2 m wide; transect length varied (see data). Fishes were identified to lowest possible taxon (usually species), and verified against the WoRMs database (http://www.marinespecies.org/). This dataset is formatted as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A, occurrence core). This is a derived data product and see provenance for the source data.
