National Coral Reef Monitoring Program: Water temperature data from subsurface temperature recorders (STRs) deployed at coral reef sites in the U.S. Virgin Islands
This collection contains water temperature data collected using subsurface temperature recorders (STRs) that aid in the monitoring of seawater temperature variability at permanent coral reef sites in the U.S. Virgin Islands as part of the ongoing NOAA National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP). The high-accuracy temperature loggers used to gather this data are made by SeaBird Electronics (SBE). They are deployed on the reef for a period of 3 years at depths ranging from 0 to 30 meters along depth transects. When an STR is recovered, typically another STR is deployed in the same location. Raw data contains temperatures collected every 5 minutes. Temperature data are archived by region, location, depth and year recovered.
The temperature data provided here were collected from STRs deployed at existing long-term monitoring sites during NOAA Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML), Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP) led NCRMP missions.
