This dataset contains physical data collected on Stillwater Cove Mooring during deployment SCove_Moor_MHG in the North Pacific Ocean from 2010-06-14 to 2012-09-28. These data include depth and water temperature. The instruments used to collect these data include Water Temperature Sensor. These data were collected by Michael H Graham of Moss Landing Marine Laboratories and Professor Christopher Harley of University of British Columbia as part of the "Effects of ocean climate change on recruitment of kelp populations (Climate Change Kelp)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2023-01-23.

The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO:

Temperature time-series data from 4 depths, 2010-2012, Central California kelp forest.

Dataset Description:
Temperature data from 4 depths at the study site in the giant kelp forest habitat of the Central California Coast. Temperature was recorded every 5 minutes from June 2010 to October 2012.

Supplemental Information
Acquisition Description:
Onset Stowaway Tidbits (+/- 0.2C) were positioned at 0.5, 4.8, 8, and 13.5 m along a mooring line at the study site. The loggers were set to record temperature every 5 minutes and were swapped out approximately every 3 months by divers.
