Published by NOAA NMFS SWFSC Environmental Research Division | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2008-06-11T00:00:00.000+00:00
This dataset from the Channel Islands National Park's Kelp Forest Monitoring Program has subtidal temperature data taken at permanent monitoring sites. Since 1993, remote temperature loggers manufactured by Onset Computer Corporation were deployed at each site approximately 10-20 cm from the bottom in a underwater housing. Since 1993, three models of temperature loggers (HoboTemp (tm), StowAway (R) and Tidbit(R)) were used to collect temperature data every 1-5 hours depending on the model used.
