National Coral Reef Monitoring Program: Water Temperature Data from Subsurface Temperature Recorders (STRs) deployed at coral reef sites in American Samoa from 2012 to 2023

Description

Water temperature time series data provided in this data set are from subsurface temperature recorders (STRs) deployed at permanent coral reef sites across American Samoa by the NOAA Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC), Ecosystem Sciences Division (ESD; formerly the Coral Reef Ecosystem Division) as part of the NOAA National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP). The STRs were deployed for a period of 1-9 years from 2012 to 2023 and recovered during ESD-led NCRMP missions to American Samoa in 2015, 2018, and 2023. The high-accuracy temperature loggers made by Sea-Bird Electronics (SBE) and RBR Ltd. USA were weighted and strapped to solid substrate on the seafloor by SCUBA divers at depths ranging from 0 to 30 meters at permanent monitoring sites established by ESD's Ocean and Climate Change team. Sample interval of STRs recovered in 2013, 2015 and 2018/2023 was 2 min 30 sec, 60 min, and 5 min, respectively. The current sample interval is 5 minutes. Each time an STR was recovered another STR was typically deployed at the same location and depth and was assigned the same OCC_SITEID. Data were downloaded using the SeaBird SeaTerm V2 or RBR Ruskin V2 program and post-processed using R to trim "out of water" data.
