Data archive for Anaerobic methane oxidation in a coastal oxygen minimum zone: spatial and temporal dynamics

Data collected during annual sampling campaigns to the coastal oxygen minimum zone of Golfo Dulce, carried out in January-February 2018, 2019 and 2020. Methods and results are presented and discussed in Steinsdóttir et al. 2022. Anaerobic methane oxidation in a coastal oxygen minimum zone: spatial and temporal dynamics. Environmental Microbiology, 2022, doi: 10.1111/1462-2920.16003

Version v2 includes updated calculations of in situ methane concentrations for the years 2019 and 2020, correcting an error that, in Version v1, led to concentrations being underestimated to about one-third of their actual values.

The archive contains the following:

nutrient_and_methane_concentrations.csv - Concentrations of methane, nitrite, nitrate, and ammonium - corrected

methane_oxidation_rates.csv - Rates of anaerobic methane oxidation - corrected

kinetics_of_anaerobic_methane_oxidation.csv - Kinetics of anaerobic methane oxidation, carried out in 2019 - corrected
