Hendee originator 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 an Integrated Coral Observing Network, 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. underDevelopment James C.

Known data issues include: 1) Station suffered a complete power failure from May 15th until August 11th, 2014. 2) Buoy was brought to land for repair August 11th - 12th, 2014. 3) Buoy was brought to land November 12th - 13th, 2014, at which time most of its sensors were recalibrated or replaced. 4) Conductivity/Salinity data may be questionably high January 1st - 29th, 2014. 5) Conductivity/Salinity/Temperature sensor was entirely nonfunctional January 29th - September 10th, 2014. 6) Conductivities/Salinities were bad September 10th - 19th, 2014. 7) Conductivity/Salinity/Temperature sensor was entirely nonfunctional September 19th - November 13th, 2014. 8) Wind directions from the station's two sensors differed by on average 19 degrees throughout the year, which is not explainable by the sensors' tolerances -- it is not known for certain which direction is most reliable. 9) Data from the analog RH sensor (Humid1) are unreliable beginning February 25th, 2014. 10) Data from the analog air temperature sensor (AirT1) are unreliable beginning November 13th, 2014. 11) Local maintenance team reports visits/cleaning on March 19th, April 24th, and some time in June, July and August, 2014. none Data have been manually screened and erroneous values due to instrument malfunction have been noted and/or removed. 2015-06-30T00:00:00 annually This metadata was automatically generated from the FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata standard (version FGDC-STD-001-1998) using the 2016-01-11 version of the FGDC RSE to ISO 19115-2 transform.
