©2026 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.These data include TidBiT logger temperature readings collected in the rocky intertidal zone across five sites spanning the northern and central California coast between Summer 2022 and Fall 2023. TidBiT loggers were deployed in steel mesh enclosures bolted to the rocky substrate and programmed to sample on 30 minute cycles. To ensure we only recorded ocean temperatures, we filtered the dataset to only include readings that occurred within 1.5 hours of high tide. These data were collected i...

We recorded ocean temperature at five intertidal sites in Northern and Central California (Kruse Ranch, Bodega Marine Reserve, Hopkins Marine Station, Soberanes Point, and Vandenberg) by deploying two TidbiT dataloggers (Onset Computer Corp.) in the intertidal zone at each site in June 2022, which recorded temperature at 30 min intervals. We anchored dataloggers in small steel mesh cages bolted to the substrate.
Data were collected in conjunction with intertidal temperature data to assess how the strength of competition varies across the range edge and range core for Lottia gigantea.
