805-893-3879 melack@lifesci.ucsb.edu 2009 Stream Discharge and water temperature were collected with a Solinst Model 3001 LT Levelogger at Arroyo Burro Creek, Cliff Drive in the Santa Barbara coastal area (site ID: AB00). Data are reported hourly. Stage values were converted to discharge using a rating curve developed with stream channel cross-sections, roughness estimates and the HEC-RAS model. hydrology runoff discharge SBCLTER Categories Discharge/Flow Stage Height GCMD AB00 SBCLTER Sites 1.

Stage heights are determined by subtracting atmospheric pressure from measured total pressure (stream + atmospheric) measured on the bottom of the stream channel. Discharge is computed using the USGS HEC-RAS model. For more information, see the protocol document

The primary research objective of the Santa Barbara Coastal LTER is to investigate the importance of land and ocean processes in structuring giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) forest ecosystems. As in many temperate regions, the shallow rocky reefs in the Santa Barbara Channel, California, are dominated by giant kelp forests. Because of their close proximity to shore, kelp forests are influenced by physical and biological processes occurring on land as well as in the open ocean. SBC LTER research focuses on measuring and modeling the patterns, transport, and processing of material constituents (e.g., nutrients, carbon, sediment, organisms, and pollutants) from terrestrial watersheds and the coastal ocean to these reefs. Specifically, we are examining the effects of these material inputs on the primary production of kelp, and the population dynamics, community structure, and trophic interactions of kelp forest ecosystems.
