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 in Florida’s Biscayne National Park as part of the NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program’s (CRCP’ s) National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP). The high-accuracy temperature loggers (SBE56, SeaBird Electronics) are deployed on reefs for a period of three years. STRs are deployed along depth transects targeting 1, 5, 15, & 25 meters at ocean and climate change monitoring survey sites. Depth transects are located on the northern, southern, eastern, and western coasts of each target region. When a STR is recovered, typically another STR is deployed at the same location. Temperature data are collected in 5-minute intervals, and gaps in time-series (due to instrument failure or battery death) are manually padded with null values. STRs time-series data in this package were converted into coordinated universal time (UTC) from Eastern Standard Time (EST). For organizational purposes, temperature data files archived in this package are separated 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 Acidification Climate and Coral Reef Ecosystems Team (ACCRETE), based at NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML).

Biscayne National Park (BNP) is geographically distinct from other NCRMP STR deployment regions in that it is not an island. It therefore does not conform to the naming convention of the other sampling regions monitored by the ACCRETE team. As such, STR transects deployed in BNP were simply labeled “South,” given that they are on the southeast margin of the associated land mass (South Florida).

Purpose NOAA’s NCRMP takes a holistic approach to provide an ecosystem perspective via long-term monitoring of climate, fish, benthic, and socioeconomic data in a consistent and integrated manner. Through the implementation of the NCRMP, NOAA will be able to clearly and concisely communicate results of national-scale monitoring to national, state, and territorial policy makers, resource managers, and the public on a periodic basis. These water temperature time series data along with other data collected at the survey sites support CRCP’s long-term sustainable management goals and inform coral reef conservation.
