Description

Montly average, minimum, and maximum temperatures at Caribbean reefs recorded from 2008 to 2011. Reefs located at Curacao, Grenada, and Puerto Rico.

Methods & Sampling

Hobo temperature loggers (Onset- V.2; accuracy to 0.01 degree C), set to record temp. every two hours, were deployed at 10 m in each one of the surveyed reefs in Curacao, Grenada, and Puerto Rico, except for Media Luna and Turrumote reefs in Puerto Rico. At Media Luna and Turrumote, temperature loggers were deployed at 1 and 15 meters.

Data Processing Description

BCO-DMO Processing Notes:
- 'nd' entered to indicate 'no data'.
- Modified parameter names to conform with BCO-DMO naming conventions.
- Added lat and lon from the metadata provided.
- Replaced abbreviated reef names with full names.
