Description | |
Summary | This dataset consists of data from four stations (Batiki01, Batiki02, Beqa01 and Beqa02) that are part of the ReefTEMPS network of temperature sensors on the coastal domain of about twenty territories and island states in the South Pacific, Southwest and West Pacific. The Batiki data were collected in the coastal waters of Batiki Island, Fiji (Batiki01: latitude=-17.777467, longitude=179.179867, 2012 to 2015; Batiki02: latitude=-17.78552, longitude=179.13897, 2012 to 2017). The Beqa data were collected in the coastal waters of Beqa, Fiji (Beqa01: latitude=-18.41369, longitude=178.1675, 2014 to 2017; Beqa02: latitude=-18.37687, longitude=178.1956, 2014 to 2017). The dataset consists of water temperature data from a temperature logger attached to a coral head recording temperature every 10 minutes at around 10-12 metres depth with QC being applied following collection of the logger. The observation network is coordinated by the Grand Observatoire de l'environment et de la biodiversite terrestre et marine du Pacifique Sud (GOPS) (https://journals.openedition.org/netcom/1294). |
