Sea surface temperature data for coral Symbiodinium study from in situ data loggers and JPL MUR data, Belize Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System (MBRS), 2003-2015

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) as well as in situ temperature from HOBO data loggers.

Description

These data are reported in Baumann et al (2017) https://doi.org/10.1007/s00248-017-1096-6.

Methods & Sampling

Daily 1-km horizontal resolution sea surface temperature (SST) estimates were acquired from the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s Multi-Scale High Resolution SST (JPL MUR SST) product via NOAA Environmental Research Division’s Data Access Program (ERDDAP- https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/index.html) (Simons, 2011) and analyzed following Baumann et al. (2016). Several additional temperature parameters were taken into account for this study, including annual degree heating days (similar to degree heating weeks, as per Gleeson and Strong), annual minimum temperature, annual average temperature, annual winter average temperature, and annual summer average temperature. Values for these parameters within the three thermal regimes are reported in Table S1 (Baumann et al, 2017).

Data Processing Description

BCO-DMO Processing Notes:
- added conventional header with dataset name, PI name, version date
- modified parameter names to conform with BCO-DMO naming conventions
- re-formatted date from m/d/yyyy to yyyy-mm-dd
- changed sign of positive longitudes to negative (all but -88.12)
