Title: National Coral Reef Monitoring Program: Water temperature data from subsurface temperature recorders (STRs) deployed at coral reef sites in the Florida Keys from 2016-12-13 to 2019-11-15 (NCEI Accession 0224588)
Abstract: This archive package contains water temperature data collected using subsurface temperature recorders (STRs) that aid in the monitoring of seawater temperature variability at permanent coral reef sites throughout the Florida Keys as part of the NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program’s (CRCP’ s) National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP). High-accuracy STRs are made by SeaBird Electronics (SBE) and deployed on the reef for a period of 3 years. STRs are arranged by cardinal direction along a vertical depth transect targeting 1, 5, 15, and 25 meters at Ocean and Climate Change monitoring survey sites. Florida keys array will have an extra site per sub region at the 1m or 5m depth. In areas that cardinal directions cannot be applied STRs are then arranged in a strategic manner along the vertical targeted depth transect. When the STR is recovered, typically another STR is deployed in the same location. Raw data contains temperatures collected in 5-minute intervals each hour. Temperature data are archived by region, location and year recovered. For analysis purposes, temperature data is divided by region then by location. One instrument from this collection (Lower Keys 25m) could not be found and was not collected. The temperature data provided in this data set were collected from STRs deployed at existing long-term monitoring sites by the Ocean Chemistry and Ecosystems Division (OCED) Coral Program based at NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML).
