These data are temperature recordings from a shallow-water (<1 m) habitat on the south side of Summerland Key, FL related to sponge and macroinvertebrate surveys post-Hurricane Irma.
Location: Shallow seagrass habitat, Summerland Key, FL depth <1 m (24.660893, -81.456059)
Data recorders were attached to the substratum with cable ties attached to a cement block. Temperature recordings were made from December, 2017 to May, 2018.
The first data logger had an recording interval of 30 min. It was removed on October 11, 2015 at 10:00, and replaced later in the day (October 11, 2015; 15:00). The new data logger had a recording interval set to 15 min. That data logger was collected on January 7th, 2016 (9:45), and replaced (12:00) with a logger that had a measuring interval of 30 mins.
Data loggers were not kept free of algae, and thus the light intensity measurements become unreliable later in the deployment. Algal growth was noticeable after approximately 3 weeks.
