National Coral Reef Monitoring Program: Water temperature data from subsurface temperature recorders (STRs) deployed at coral reef sites in the Flower Gardens National Marine Sanctuary
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 Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary 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 at a variety of depths from 21 to 38 meters at Ocean and Climate Change monitoring survey sites. 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.
The temperature data provided in this dataset were collected from STRs deployed at existing long-term monitoring sites by the AOML Coral Program based at NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory
