This dataset collects a record of physical and chemical observations made by two uncrewed sailing vehicles (Saildrone 1038 and Saildrone 1039) in the South Indian Ocean during 2022 and 2023. SD1038 collected data near 15°E and between latitudes 35°S and 50°S during July 19-26, 2022. SD1039 made observations within the Subantarctic Zone (37-47°S, 20-45°E) between September 1, 2022 until February 24, 2023. The local atmospheric and surface ocean parameters measured are listed below: -- Atmospheric measurements: temperature, pressure, humidity. -- Seawater measurements: temperature, pressure, conductivity, salinity. -- Carbon measurements: fCO2, xCO2, and pCO2 in atmosphere and seawater. -- Chlorophyll measurements: concentration. -- Oxygen measurements: concentration, saturation, ratio of O2 in water to air. -- Wind measurements: eastward, northward, and downward speed, plus gusts and direction. -- Wave measurements: significant wave height and dominant wave period. -- Irradiation measurements (SD1039 only): longwave, shortwave, and PAR. -- Current velocity measurements (SD1039 only): eastwards, northwards, and upwards, down to 102m. -- CCMP wind estimates (hourly only): collocated to Saildrone time and location. -- Directions of large eddies transitted (SD1039 hourly only): based on AVISO eddy database. Four files included: -- SD1038_1min.nc (SD1038’s raw data at 1-minute timesteps with frequent gaps) -- SD1039_1min.nc (SD1039’s raw data at 1-minute timesteps with frequent gaps) -- SD1038_hrly.nc (SD1038’s hourly-averaged data, plus eddies and CCMP winds) -- SD1039_hrly.nc (SD1039’s hourly-averaged data, plus eddies and CCMP winds) 1-minute files contain the “raw” data, at all times it was collected. Because many variables were only sampled once or a few times an hour, these files include frequent gaps. Hourly files were made from the 1-minute data, averaging whatever data exists within each hour, such that few gaps in the data exist for most variables.

We conducted an experimental investigation on the impact of a Disclosure requirement (publicly disclosing the auditors actual name) and Sign-Off requirement (requiring auditors to sign-off on the audit report) on auditor misreporting decisions. We used an experimental audit market based on the economic model in Magee and Tseng (1990). Markets were conducted via networked computers utilizing z-tree software (Fischbacher, 2007) and student participants. Two experimental sessions were conducted for each of the four experimental conditions and each session was conducted with two markets operating simultaneously. Consistent with prior research, participants were randomly reassigned to a different market group at the end of each market year (two trading periods) in order to help control reputational concerns among participants, and to remove market group confounds (Calegari, Schatzberg and Sevcik (1998); Schatzberg, Sevcik, Shapiro, Thorne and Wallace (2005); Blay, Gooden, Mellon and Stevens (2019a); Blay, Gooden, Mellon and Stevens (2019b). All manipulations were administered on a between-subjects basis and all participants maintained their original randomly assigned role throughout the experiment. For a detailed description and discussion of the audit market setting, including equilibrium predictions see Blay et al. (2019b). We used the same experimental parameters as the audit markets described in Blay et al. (2019b), with three notable differences. First, we increased the penalty for misreporting from $0.05 to $0.25 in order for the economic penalty for misreporting to be consistent with Blay, Gooden, Mellon and Stevens (2019a). This enables us to better directly compare our results to prior research (Blay et al (2019a) and Schatzberg, Sevcik, Shapiro, Thorne and Wallace (2005)), while also allowing us to understand the interplay between economic penalties and the underlying theoretical mechanisms behind the observed reporting behavior. Second, we eliminated the pre-experimental quiz included in the instructions used in Blay et al. (2019b). Instead, we report the results of the Ethics Position Questionnaire (EPQ), Forsyth (1980), which can be used to measure individual differences in moral thought using its idealism and relativism scales. Lastly, Blay et al. (2019b) presented a 3x1 between-participants experimental design in which disclosure is manipulated at three levels. In particular, Blay et al. (2019b) examined the impact no disclosure, disclosure only, and disclosure with sign-off on auditor misreporting. Instead, we utilized a 2 x 2 between-participants experimental design in which we examined following experimental conditions: No Sign-Off or Disclosure, Sign-Off Only, Disclosure Only, and Sign-Off with Disclosure. We believe that this design choice allows for a more direct comparison between the results of the two studies. In addition to the raw data from the study, the reported Excel file includes a tab with data descriptions.

NEON staff collected pinnae (ear tissue) samples from Peromyscus leucopus (N = 55) and P. maniculatus (N = 38) in 2022 from two sites (see the Animals and Study Site section in the main text). The samples were used to obtain RNA (see RNA extraction in the main text) and measure immune gene expression (see the Droplet Digital Polymerase Chain Reaction (ddPCR) section in the main text).

Reference data used for the fourth chapter of dissertation regarding the igneous basement and marine sediment of the South China Sea, the igneous material of Northern Luzon Island IAB, Luzon Strait, and reference materials from the Pacific, Philippine and other globally utilized standards.

Peak moments for 8 cadaveric specimens. Each specimen was tested in 3 planes (flex/ext, lateral flexion, rotation) and under 5 compression loads (0, 100, 250, 400, 500 N). There were 3 total conditions (Native, Vertiwedge full configuration, and Vertiwedge screw only configuration).

This data supports the findings in the manuscript titled "Predicting pH at in-situ temperature for aquatic environments". Experiments were performed to analyze how the pH of seawater changes with changing temperature conditions (∆pH/∆T) across a range of salinities. Data was collected by measuring pH spectrophotometrically with simultaneous temperature measurements via a mini surface temperature probe. The total alkalinity (AT) of the seawater sample and salinity were measured for each sample to fully define the marine CO2 system. ∆pH/∆T was determined for a pH (at 25°C) range of 7.2–8.2, a temperature range of 15–40°C and salinities 10.1, 20.2, 30.2, and 36.1.
