Southeast Fisheries Science Center, 2025: Water temperature data from reef sites off the upper Florida Keys from 2003-09-18 to 2023-12-31 (NCEI Accession 0126994), https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/inport/item/25789.
Full Citation Examples
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 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 and patch reef sites from as far north as Turtle Rocks to as far south as Little Conch Reef.

Abstract: |
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 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 and patch reef sites from as far north as Turtle Rocks to as far south as Little Conch Reef. |
Purpose: |
To document ambient water temperature at various Acropora spp study sites in the upper Florida Keys. |

Data Quality
Accuracy: |
Water temperature loggers were deployed at various reef sites off the upper Florida Keys where Acropora spp related research activities (monitoring or experiments) were conducted. The loggers were one of four types: either Stowaway TidbiT (model: TBI32-20+50; Range -20°C to 50°C; Accuracy: ± 0.5°C from 0° to 50°C; Resolution: 0.02°C at 25°C ), HOBO MX TidbiT 400 (model: MX2203; Range -20°C to 70°C; Accuracy: ± 0.2°C from 0° to 70°C; Resolution: 0.01°C at 18°F), HOBO MX TidbiT 5000 (model: MX2204; Range -20°C to 70°C; Accuracy: ± 0.2°C from 0° to 70°C; Resolution: 0.01°C), or HOBO PENDANT (UA-001-64; Range: -20° to 70°C; Accuracy: ± 0.53°C from 0° to 50°C; Resolution: 0.14°C at 25°C)- all made by Onset Computer Corporation. Loggers were secured to the substrate out of direct sunlight but in an area with adequate water flow and were set to record the ambient water temperature at 30 minute intervals. |
---|---|
Completeness Report: |
Loggers were secured to the substrate out of direct sunlight but in an area with adequate water flow and were set to record the ambient water temperature at 30 minute intervals. 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. |
Quality Control Procedures Employed: |
Data are downloaded from temperature loggers after return to the lab and data are trimmed to the duration of actual deployment underwater on the reef. All data were examined for outliers and obvious temperature excursions were cross checked between sites. |
