The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

| Title: | National Coral Reef Monitoring Program: Water Temperature Data from Subsurface Temperature Recorders (STRs) deployed at coral reef sites in Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary from 2015-06-05 to 2022-10-06 (NCEI Accession 0286356) |
| Abstract: | This archive package contains water temperature data collected using subsurface temperature recorders (STRs) that aid in the monitoring of seawater temperature variability at permanent coral reef sites in Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary as part of the NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program’s (CRCP’s) National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP). High-accuracy STRs are made by SeaBird Electronics (SBE) and deployed on the reef for a period of 3 years. STRs in this package are arranged by cardinal direction along a vertical depth transect at a variety of depths from 21 to 38 meters at Ocean and Climate Change monitoring survey sites. In areas that cardinal directions cannot be applied STRs are then arranged in a strategic manner along the vertical targeted depth transect. When the STR is recovered, typically another STR is deployed in the same location. Raw data contains temperatures collected in 5-minute intervals each hour. Temperature data are archived by region, location and year recovered. For analysis purposes, temperature data is divided by region then by location. This submission package includes 4 instruments from East FGBNMS and 3 instruments from West FGBNMS. The 2019 cruise was cut short due to weather and W FGB STRs were not able to be recovered. The west STRs are from the initial deployment. Because of this, data from the W FGB STRs span from 2015 to 2019 while the E FGB STR data spans from 2019 to 2022. The temperature data provided in this dataset were collected from STRs deployed at existing long-term monitoring sites by the AOML Coral Program based at NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML). |
