The STRs were deployed for a period of 1-6 years from 2011 to 2023 and recovered during ESD-led NCRMP missions to the PRIMNM in 2014, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2023, and 2025. The high-accuracy temperature loggers made by Sea-Bird Electronics (SBE) or RBR Ltd. were weighted and strapped to solid substrate on the seafloor by SCUBA divers at depths ranging from 0 to 30 meters at permanent monitoring sites established by ESD's Ocean and Climate Change team. Sample interval over time ranges from 30 seconds to 60 minutes; though the current sample interval used is 5 minutes. Each instance an STR was recovered from a fixed reef site, another STR was typically deployed at the same location and depth and was also assigned the same OCC_SITEID. Data were downloaded using the SeaBird SeaTerm V2 or RBR Ruskinv2 programs and post-processed using R to trim out of water data. Water temperature time series data aid in the monitoring of seawater temperature variability and are used to help scientists assess and understand how coral reefs monitored as part of the NOAA National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP) are responding to thermal stress.

The NCRMP coordinates 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 is 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. NCRMP is a framework for conducting sustained observations of biological, climate, and socioeconomic indicators at 10 priority coral reefs across the U.S. and its territories. This integrated approach consolidates monitoring of coral reefs under a uniform method in the Pacific, Atlantic, Caribbean, and the Gulf of Mexico for the first time. NCRMP is funded by the Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP) and supported by NOAA Fisheries, NOAA National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS), NOAA's Atlantic Oceanographic & Meteorological Laboratory (AOML), NOAA Coral Reef Watch, and many other partners. The Ecosystem Sciences Division (ESD) at NOAA Fisheries is leading in-situ climate monitoring in the U.S. Pacific Islands Region. The climate component of NCRMP in the Pacific provides a comprehensive view of climate change impacts on coral reef ecosystems and helps identify areas of resilience and vulnerability. The key indicators used to identify and monitor climate-driven trends include 1) thermal stress caused by changes in sea temperature, 2) ocean acidification resulting from changes in carbonate chemistry, and 3) ecological impacts by collecting data on coral growth rates, erosion, and community structure to understand the impacts of thermal stress and ocean acidification on the ecosystem. Each year, ESD scientists work closely with CRCP and partners during National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP) missions to collect data using moored oceanographic (subsurface temperature recorders) and ecological (calcification accretion units [CAUs] and autonomous reef monitoring structures [ARMS]) instruments stationed at fixed sites in the Pacific Ocean, and water samples collected by divers. The in-situ data and satellite-based observations are also used in modeling efforts. Innovative analysis techniques are used to develop products that give fellow scientists, managers, decision makers and the public a better understanding of a region's resources and how they are changing over time. false eng false Data Table ESD_NCRMP_TEMPERATURE_DATADICTIONARY_2023 2024-05-21 publication ZIP Zip ZIP Zip PDF - Adobe Portable Document Format ZIP Zip ZIP Zip PDF - Adobe Portable Document Format PDF - Adobe Portable Document Format PDF - Adobe Portable Document Format ZIP Zip ZIP Zip ZIP Zip ZIP Zip PDF - Adobe Portable Document Format CSV - Comma Separated Values (Text) PDF - Adobe Portable Document Format CSV - Comma Separated Values (Text) CSV - Comma Separated Values (Text) Zip CSV - Comma Separated Values (Text) PDF - Adobe Portable Document Format NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information distributor https://accession.nodc.noaa.gov/0162217 WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link ESD_NCRMP_Temperature_2015_PRIA.zip Zip file containing one CSV file of temperature data from subsurface temperature recorders (STRs) deployed by the NOAA Fisheries Ecosystem Sciences Division (ESD) across the Pacific Remote Island Areas and recovered in 2015.

Information about instruments that were lost or that failed are excluded. Conceptual Consistency All data gathered are consistent with the given methodology. STRs are usually deployed on the reef for a period of 3 years (shorter or longer deployments occur) at depths ranging from 0-30 m at permanent monitoring sites established by the NOAA Fisheries Pacific Islands, Ecosystem Sciences Division. STRs are attached to a mounting bracket, weighted, and strapped to solid substrate (attached dead coral or rock) at the benthos by SCUBA divers using cable ties. A GPS point is taken by surface support personnel at the surface float that is positioned directly above the instrument during the dive. The depth of the instrument is taken by photographing a diver depth gauge next to the serial number of the instrument after installation. On recovery, a second waypoint and depth are taken in the same manner as the deployment before cutting the instrument free. When a STR is recovered, typically another STR is deployed in the same location and the same depth and is assigned the same OCC_SITEID (as long as the coordinates are within 100-m diameter and 3-m depth cylinder of the pre-existing OCC_SITEID).

Designed for moorings or other long-duration, fixed-site deployments, as well as deployments on nets, towed vehicles, or ROVs. Temperature, pressure (optional), and time sampling options, at user-programmable 0.5-sec to 6-hour intervals. Data is recorded in memory and can also be output in real-time. Measured data are output in engineering units. SBE 56 Temperature Sensor A low-cost, high-accuracy, fast-sampling temperature recorder with USB interface, internal battery (up to 2 years), and memory. Temperature and time sampling options, at user-programmable 0.5-sec to 9-hour intervals. Data are uploaded upon recovery via the internal USB connector, and output in engineering units (degrees C, date and time). The high stability preserves the initial calibration accuracy, requiring less frequent (or no) calibrations. Ideal for underwater recording applications. RBR Solo3T Subsurface Temperature Recorded (STR) A low-cost, high-accuracy, fast-sampling temperature recorder with USB-c interface, internal battery, and memory. Temperature and time sampling options, at user-programmable 0.5-sec to 9-hour intervals. Data are uploaded upon recovery via the internal USB connector, and output in engineering units (degrees C, date and time). The high stability preserves the initial calibration accuracy, requiring less frequent (or no) calibrations. Ideal for underwater recording applications.
