Description

Temperature values recorded daily at Caribbean reefs from 2008 to 2011. Reefs located at Curacao, Grand Cayman, and Grenada.

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, Cayman, and Grenada.

Data Processing Description

BCO-DMO Processing Notes:
