Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center, PIFSC Special Publication, SP-17-002, 234 p. https://doi.org/10.7289/V5/SP-PIFSC-17-002. Water temperature data were collected by the NOAA Coral Reef Ecosystem Program (CREP) using subsurface temperature recorders (STRs) deployed at fixed climate survey sites located on hard bottom shallow water (< 30 m) habitats in Timor-Leste. Climate sites were established by CREP to establish ecological baselines for climate change by measuring multiple features of the coral reef environment (in addition to the data described herein) over time. These STRs or high-accuracy temperature loggers made by SeaBird Electronics (SBE) were deployed on the reef for a period of 2 years from October 2012 to October 2014, and the sample interval was set to one hour. STRs aid in the monitoring of seawater temperature variability. These water temperature time series data for Timor-Leste, along with other data collected at the climate survey sites (water chemistry, calcification rates, invertebrate biodiversity, and benthic cover, all archived separately), can be used to help scientists assess and understand how coral reefs are responding to thermal stress that can lead to coral bleaching. The temperature data can be accessed online via the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) Ocean Archive. In 2011, NOAA and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Timor-Leste Mission formed a 5-year bi-lateral partnership agreement from 2012 to 2016, in support of the Government of Timor-Leste—particularly the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries (MAF)—by addressing significant information gaps in their nearshore marine ecosystems. Specifically, MAF asked NOAA to address the following questions: 1.Where are the nearshore marine resources? 2.What are the nearshore marine resources? 3.How are they changing over time and what threats are potentially causing these changes? 4.What approaches are needed to manage and conserve the nearshore marine resources? With financial support from USAID and in-kind support from the NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP), the NOAA Coral Reef Ecosystem Program (CREP) conducted baseline ecosystem assessment surveys to inform ecosystem-based management planning in Timor-Leste. The primary activities conducted by NOAA to answer these questions included: 1.satellite mapping of nearshore habitats, 2.conducting coral reef ecosystem assessments, 3.establishing ecological baselines for climate change, and 4.building management capacity by developing a spatial data framework The temperature data described herein resulted from the third activity to establish ecological baselines for climate change.

Furthermore, the methods used for establishing ecological baselines for climate change in Timor-Leste (Chapter 4) are being adopted and implemented at 21 sites across eight member states of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission within the Western Pacific (WESTPAC) region. These data provide a foundation for comparing the ecological baselines under current and future stresses associated with climate change in the Coral Triangle region. false eng false Spreadsheet Temperature data entities and attributes 2023-11-16 publication CSV - Comma Separated Values (Text) CSV - Comma Separated Values (Text) 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/0168931 WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link STR_Temperature_Timor_2014.csv Compiled temperature time series data from subsurface temperature recorders deployed in Timor-Leste in 2012 by the NOAA Coral Reef Ecosystem Program (CREP) and recovered in 2014. download https://accession.nodc.noaa.gov/0168931 WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link STR_FieldData_Timor_2014.csv Field metadata for subsurface temperature recorders deployed in Timor-Leste in 2012 by the NOAA Coral Reef Ecosystem Program (CREP) and recovered in 2015.

Clock Accuracy: 5 seconds per month. Completeness Report Subsurface temperature recorders were deployed in 2012 at 10 sites in Timor-Leste; however, STRs were only recovered from 8 of the 10 sites in 2014. Conceptual Consistency All data gathered are conceptually consistent with the given methodology. Water temperature data are collected using high-accuracy subsurface temperature recorders (STRs) made by SeaBird Electronics (model SBE 39). STRs were deployed on the reef for a period of 2 years at depths ranging from 4-25m at climate sites in Timor-Leste. At a few sites, multiple STRs were deployed along a depth transect (shallow, mid, and deep water depth between 4 and 25 m). STRs are attached to a weighted mounting bracket and then strapped to solid substrate (attached dead coral or rock) at the benthos using cable ties by SCUBA divers. A GPS point is taken at the surface float which 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. Upon recovery, a second waypoint and depth are taken in the same manner as the deployment before cutting the instrument free. Data are downloaded using the SeaBird SeaTerm program (saved as .ASC), and then post-processed using MATLAB (saved as .CDP). Data from when the instrument was turned on but not yet deployed were removed, and data from the period between removal and data download were also removed. Processed data files (.CDP), once quality controlled, are migrated into the PIFSC Oracle database by the CREP data managment team. Data exports are provided via database views (saved queries) in a text-based format. PIFSC. 2017.
