Water temperature data from reef sites off the upper Florida Keys from 2003-09-18 to 2022-12-11 (NCEI Accession 0126994)
Temperature loggers were deployed at various monitoring sites off the upper Florida Keys where other ecological studies were underway, most focused on aspects of Acropora spp. status or ecology. Hobo Tidbit® or Pendant® loggers were secured to the substrate at a site and were programmed to record temperature every thirty minutes. In most cases loggers were exchanged every 3-4 months. Gaps in the data exist where loggers failed or were lost. Data collection began in 2003 and is ongoing at certain sites. The time ranges vary at each site. Sites include reef tract and patch reef sites from as far north as Turtle Rocks to as far south as Little Conch Reef.

Supplemental Information | In this accession, NCEI has archived multiple versions of these data. The latest (and best) version of these data has the largest version number. Loggers were secured to the substrate out of direct sunlight but in an area with adequate water flow and were set to record the ambient water temperature at 30 minute intervals. In most cases loggers were exchanged every 3-4 months. Gaps in the data exist where loggers failed or were lost. Data collection began in 2003 and is ongoing at certain sites. The time ranges vary at each site. Water temperature loggers were deployed at various reef sites off the upper Florida Keys where Acropora spp related research activities (monitoring or experiments) were conducted. The loggers were one of two types: either Stowaway TidbiT (model: TBI32-20+50; Range -20°C to 50°C; Accuracy: ± 0.5°C from 0° to 50°C; Resolution: 0.02°C at 25°C ) or HOBO Pendant (UA-001-64; Range: -20° to 70°C; Accuracy: ± 0.53°C from 0° to 50°C; Resolution: 0.14°C at 25°C)- both made by Onset Computer Corporation. Loggers were secured to the substrate out of direct sunlight but in an area with adequate water flow and were set to record the ambient water temperature at 30 minute intervals.
