Methods & Sampling

Location: Brewer’s Bay (18.34403, -64.98435), St. Thomas, The U.S. Virgin Islands

Aquaria temperature was recorded twice a day in the mid morning and mid afternoon.

Data Processing Description

BCO-DMO Data Manager Processing notes:
* Data submitted in file "Caspase 2 temp BCO DMO submission.xlsx" sheet 1 extracted to csv
* Time format altered so it can be described accurately. A space added between "A" or "P" and an "M" added to each values so for example "10:12A" changed to "10:12 AM"
* An additional column added to the dataset for the ISO Date Time in ISO 8601 format in UTC time using date and time provided in local time zone "Atlantic Standard Time (GMT-4)"
