Description

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

Temperature data loggers were programmed to record hourly water temperatures and secured to the base of a Dendrogyra cylindrus colony at each site. Data loggers were changed out at each site visit and data was later downloaded.Gaps in data are due to lost pendant data loggers or data logger malfunction and are noted in data set as ‘nd’ (no data).

Also see the description of this ongoing study: Coral Bleaching Response Plan (http://dmoserv3.bco-dmo.org/data_docs/EMUCoReS/Coral-Bleaching-Response-Plan-6.pdf)

Data Processing Description

Dataset Processing Description

Temperature data were converted from Fahrenheit to Celsius as necessary.

BCO-DMO Processing Notes:
- added conventional header with dataset name, PI name, version date
- modified parameter names to conform with BCO-DMO naming conventions
- blank cells were replaced with nd (no data)
