The Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) of OAR is conducting research on the influence of meteorological and oceanographic factors upon coral bleaching, and other biogeochemical processes occurring on coral reefs. Instrument arrays to measure the various environmental influences are being deployed at key coral reef areas to gain long-term temporally intensive data coverage, to provide near real-time information products, and to surface-truth NOAA satellite sea surface temperature (SST) products used for coral bleaching predictions (HotSpot products). OAR has developed expert system software plus the instrument array (together called a Coral Reef Early Warning System, or ICON, station) to screen data in near real-time to test for appropriate data ranges for each of the instruments, and to issue alerts as to conditions thought to be conducive to coral bleaching, and other modeled events. At each ICON station, local collaborators also provide feedback on the presence and progress of coral bleaching and thus validate coral bleaching predictions made by satellite HotSpots and ICON information products. The impetus for such a framework was the perceived marked regional decline in coral reefs and the critical need to provide data and options for resource management. 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 https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/metadata/landing-page/bin/gfx?id=gov.noaa.nodc:AOML-ICON Preview graphic PNG 0039700 0048471 0049438 0049446 0049477 0049497 0049498 0049873 0049874 0049875 0049876 0049877 0054497 0054499 0057130 0098076 0098077 0098078 0098079 0117721 0117726 0117727 0117728 0117729 0117730 0123995 0123996 0123997 0123998 0123999 0124000 0124001 0124002 0137094 0156578 0171198 0171199 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 2018-03-09 publication AIR TEMPERATURE BAROMETRIC PRESSURE CHLOROPHYLL CONDUCTIVITY dew point FLUORESCENCE HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE PHOTOSYNTHETIC ACTIVE RADIATION (PAR) PRECIPITATION PRECIPITATION AMOUNT PRECIPITATION DURATION RELATIVE HUMIDITY SALINITY SALINITY - SURFACE WATER SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE SOLAR RADIATION - ATMOSPHERIC TIDE HEIGHT turbidity WATER TEMPERATURE WAVE DIRECTION WIND DIRECTION WIND DIRECTION - AVERAGE WIND DIRECTION - CONTINUOUS WIND GUST WIND SPEED WIND SPEED - AVERAGE WIND SPEED - CONTINUOUS theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS acoustic sensor anemometer barometer barometric pressure sensor compass conductivity sensor CTD CTD - moored CTD fluorometer humidity sensor meteorological sensor multi-parameter water quality sensor PAR Sensor pressure gauge salinometer temperature sensor thermistor thermometer instrument NODC INSTRUMENT TYPES THESAURUS continuous current measurements in situ meteorological navigational physical profile surface measurements survey - coral reef time series theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS NOAA Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory dataCentre NODC COLLECTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS NOAA Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory dataCentre NODC SUBMITTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS COASTAL Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP) Coral Reef Information System (CoRIS) CORAL REEF STUDIES Integrated Coral Observing Network (ICON) project NODC PROJECT NAMES THESAURUS Caribbean Sea Coastal Waters of Florida Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary North Atlantic Ocean Philippine Sea place NODC SEA AREA NAMES THESAURUS oceanography theme WMO_CategoryCode 2012-09-15 publication DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NODC > National Oceanographic Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce DOC/NOAA/OAR/AOML > Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory, OAR, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2026 revision 23 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Greenbelt MD https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords HTTPS GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.

NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information custodian acoustic sensor acoustic sensor generic instrument type for sensing sound in the water column Use acoustic sensor for a variety of types of observations, including acoustic tomography, whale and other marine mammal sound detection, etc. Do not use acoustic sensor for instrument type when the thing being measured is distance to seafloor: use echo sounder or sidescan sonar as appropriate. anemometer anemometer measures wind speed An anemometer is an instrument that measures wind speed. Note that an aerovane (insttypes_id 175) is an anemometer which has a tail and a propeller to measure the speed and direction of the wind. barometer barometer Barometers are instruments for measuring atmospheric pressure; two types include mercury barometers and aneroid barometers. barometric pressure sensor barometric pressure sensor instrument used to measure the atmospheric pressure. compass compass magnetic compass instrument used for geo-location, positioning and navigation conductivity sensor conductivity sensor OMEGA non-contact conductivity sensor CDCN-108 or Honeywell DirectLine DL423 Sensor Module, for example Water conductivity sensors are used to measure how well a solution conducts an electrical current. CTD CTD Conductivity-Temperature-Depth probe CTD - moored CTD CTD - moored CTD CTD - moored CTD fluorometer fluorometer fluorometer humidity sensor humidity sensor HUMIDITY SENSORS are devices that receive a signal or stimulus (as heat or pressure or light or motion etc.) and responds to it, in this case humidity or some measure of the water vapor content of air. meteorological sensor meteorological sensor Any meteorological sensor, but also see specific instruments such as aerovane, anemometer, etc. multi-parameter water quality sensor multi-parameter water quality sensor used to measure temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and other parameters Instrument used to measure temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and other parameters, often used to measure water quality parameters. Can be a hand-held instrument or a sonde for unattended monitoring. Often used in coastal water monitoring stations. YSI is the preeminent brand (as of 2024). PAR Sensor PAR Sensor Photosynthetically Active Radiation Sensor The PAR sensor measures global solar radiation from 400 to 700 nm, which approximates the spectral band active in photosynthesis. The response of the instrument falls sharply to zero on either side of this band, and between 400 and 670 nm it increases monotonically from about 50% to 100%. There is no protective glass dome over the receiving surface. Irradiance from the sun passes through a small white visible bandpass filter/diffuser in the shape of a horizontal disk at the top of the instrument. Within the instrument radiation is directed through a series of colored glass filters and onto a silicon photodiode detector. The factory-supplied calibration converts the signal from the detector to a flux of photons in micro-mole (of photons) s-1 m-2. (One micro-mole equals 6.022 E17 photons.) For the solar spectrum, these units may be converted to watts per square meter by dividing by 4.6.
