Description
Data from Coral Reef Ecosystem Division (CRED), NOAA Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC) Wave and Tide Recorders (WTR) provide a time series of temperature, wave and tide data at coral reef sites. Data is typically collected for a duration of 2 years using a SBE26 or SBE26plus SEAGAUGE Wave and Tide Recorder (Sea-Bird Electronics, Inc., www.seabird.com). Sensors include: Real-time clock, thermistor, and Digiquartz temperature-compensated pressure sensor. When a WTR is recovered, a new one is typically deployed in the same place. Time series data combining multiple deployments from a given site may also be available. Please contact CRED with any questions.
