Hourly temperature data from deployments between 2012 and 2018 from three of the Phoenix Islands

Abstract:

This dataset includes hourly temperature data from deployments of HOBO pendant temperature loggers at three of the Phoenix Islands (Kiribati: Kanton Island, Rawaki Island, and Nikumaroro Island) between 2012 and 2018. These data were published in Fox et al., 2021 (DOI: 10.1029/2021GRL094128).

Methods & Sampling

HOBO pendant temperature loggers were deployed on the fore reef slope of each island with a sampling resolution of 1 hour. The depth of the loggers are as follows:

Kanton 2012 to 2015-09-05 = 11 meters and afterward 15 meters
Nikumaroro = 8 meters
Rawaki = 11 meters

Data Processing Description

BCO-DMO Processing:
- Adjusted field/parameter names to comply with BCO-DMO naming conventions
- Added a conventional header with dataset name, PI names, version date
- Missing data identifier ‘NA’ replaced with 'nd' (BCO-DMO's default missing data identifier
- Combined "Month", "Day", and "Year" columns into another "Date" column per BCO-DMO standards

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Onset HOBO Pendant Temperature/Light Data Logger

Acronym: Onset HOBO Pendant Temp/Light

Generic Description:

The Onset HOBO (model numbers UA-002-64 or UA-001-64) is an in-situ instrument for wet or underwater applications. It supports light intensity, soil temperature, temperature, and water temperature. A two-channel logger with 10-bit resolution can record up to approximately 28,000 combined temperature and light measurements with 64K bytes memory. It has a polypropylene housing case. Uses an optical USB to transmit data. A solar radiation shield is used for measurement in sunlight. Temperature measurement range: -20 deg C to 70 deg C (temperature). Light measurement range: 0 to 320,000 lux. Temperature accuracy: +/- 0.53 deg C from 0 deg C to 50 deg C. Light accuracy: Designed for measurement of relative light levels. Water depth rating: 30 m.
