Deployed 04-FEB-2004, Recovered 03-MAR-2005. Data from CRED Subsurface Temperature Recorder (STR) provides a time series of water temperature at reef sites. Data is typically collected at 1200 second or 1800 second intervals using a SBE Model 39 from Seabird Electronics Inc. Data from prior to the deployment date/time and after the recovery date/time may have been removed. A reality check and preliminary quality control involved reviewing a time series plot of the recorded data. Data format is discrete, tab-delimited ASCII files. Columns include: Date/Time (UTC), and Temperature (deg Celcius). When a STR is recovered, a new one is typically placed at the same location. Time series data from a given site, obtained by concatenating invididual STR datasets, may be available from Coral Reef Ecosystem Division (CRED), NOAA Pacific Island Fisheries Science Center. Please contact CRED with any questions. For program information see the web site http://www.pifsc.noaa.gov/cred/oceanography.php Purpose: These data were collected for coral reef ecosystem research. They are collected concurrently with ecological/biological reef assessments. Supplemental_Information: This record refers to two (2) data files that have the same name as this metadata file. The file with extension .ASC is the raw data uploaded from the instrument, including header information. The file with extension .TXT is a datafile in which the pre and post deployment datapoints have been removed and the header information has been removed. The file with extension .XML is the metatdata, which you are currently viewing.
