Abstract

This dataset contains sea surface temperature data obtained from daily 1-km horizontal resolution SST estimates acquired from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s Multi-Scale High Resolution SST (JPL MUR SST) records via the Physical Oceanography Distributed Active Archive Center (PO.DAAC) at the NASA JPL, Pasadena, CA (http://podaac.jpl.nasa.gov). NOTE: Data from 2012 are given twice at each site; only the first set, along with the 2003-2011 data, was used in the original analysis in Baumann et ...

This dataset contains sea surface temperature data obtained from daily 1-km horizontal resolution SST estimates acquired from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s Multi-Scale High Resolution SST (JPL MUR SST) records via the Physical Oceanography Distributed Active Archive Center (PO.DAAC) at the NASA JPL, Pasadena, CA (http://podaac.jpl.nasa.gov).

NOTE: Data from 2012 are given twice at each site; only the first set, along with the 2003-2011 data,  was used in the original analysis in Baumann et al (2016). The 2012-2015 data were only available following revision in the peer review process. It became useful for making comparisons between the in-situ data and satellite data.

These data were used in a coral study in: Baumann et al. (2016) https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0162098.
