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. This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis. completed historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact HTTPS NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact asNeeded NCEI Accession 0126994 was revised and a new version of the archival package was published.

The latest (and best) version of these data has the largest version number. 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 four 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 ), HOBO MX TidbiT 400 (model: MX2203; Range -20°C to 70°C; Accuracy: ± 0.2°C from 0° to 70°C; Resolution: 0.01°C at 18°F), HOBO MX TidbiT 5000 (model: MX2204; Range -20°C to 70°C; Accuracy: ± 0.2°C from 0° to 70°C; Resolution: 0.01°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)- all 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. Beginning in 2023, a second logger was deployed alongside the first at many sites to reduce the chances of data loss due to logger failure. The loggers are exchanged on a staggered schedule and the data from both loggers is included in the dataset. The column indicating the logger serial number can be used to identify the separate datasets. Use Constraints: Disclaimer - While every effort has been made to ensure that these data are accurate and reliable within the limits of the current state of the art, NOAA cannot assume liability for any damages caused by any errors or omissions in the data, nor as a result of the failure of the data to function on a particular system. NOAA makes no warranty, expressed or implied, nor does the fact of distribution constitute such a warranty.
