    • Water temperature data from reef sites off the upper Florida Keys from 2003-09-18 to 2023-12-31 (NCEI Accession 0126994)

    Metadata Updated: August 1, 2025

    Temperature loggers were deployed at various monitoring sites off the upper Florida Keys where other ecological studies were underway, most focused on aspects of Acropora spp. status or ecology. Hobo Tidbit® or Pendant® loggers were secured to the substrate at a site and were programmed to record temperature every thirty minutes. In most cases loggers were exchanged every 3-4 months. Gaps in the data exist where loggers failed or were lost. Data collection began in 2003 and is ongoing at certain sites. The time ranges vary at each site. Sites include reef tract and patch reef sites from as far north as Turtle Rocks to as far south as Little Conch Reef.
