Description

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

Temperature data collected by Onset Tidbit temperature loggers (http://www.onsetcomp.com/products/data-loggers/utbi-001) at 10 minute intervals. Loggers were attached to subtidal rock walls at 12-15 m depth. They are downloaded approximately twice a year. The temperature loggers have an accuracy of 0.2 degrees C.

DMO NOTE: This is a large dataset and is slow to load. Please be patient.
