Water temperature at coral colony locations in American Samoa between 2013 and 2016 (Mass Bleaching American Samoa project)

Expand/Collapse All

Description

This dataset includes water temperature at the time of sampling for coral colonies in Amerian Samoa between 2013-01-04 and 2016-08-21.

Methods & Sampling

Temperature data was collected using Hobo Pendant data logger which collected temperature every 10 minutes for deployments between 2013 to 2016.

The data parameter "transect" refers to where the sample was collected. There are 10 transects in each pool. Pool (300/400) refers to the geographic pools as detailed in Craig et al. (2001).

Data Processing Description

Temperature data from individual hobos was aligned by date and time for comparison across multiple colonies.
