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, and 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 collection were gathered 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). Because of delays caused by Covid-19, contractors were hired to swap sensors later in the cycle than normal in 2021/2022. This lead to the delayed deployment of many new sensors and caused gaps within the data. The NOAA National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP) details a long term approach to provide an ecosystem perspective via monitoring climate, fish, benthic, and socioeconomic variables in a consistent and integrated manner. The NCRMP is intended to coordinate various NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP) biological, physical, and human dimensions activities into a cohesive NOAA-wide effort. 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. To support a long-term Coral Reef Conservation Program for sustainable management and conservation of coral reef ecosystems water temperature time series data—along with other data collected at the survey sites (archived separately under NCRMP)—are used to help scientists assess and understand how coral reefs monitored by the NOAA Coral Reef Ecosystem Program (CREP) are responding to thermal stress.
