Dataset: Temperature, salinity, and chlorophyll data used for analysis of urchin gut microbiota, Echinometra sp. EZ (Temporal Data Series)

The temporal series involved sampling from one site in the Arabian Peninsula, Saadiyat. We used NOAA's Environmental Research Division Data Access Program (ERDDAP) website to collect sea surface temperature data. The temperature data was downloaded using a bounding box that covered the study area on the day of collection at 12:00:00 UTC (temperature was averaged over one day).

In addition, a temperature logger (Onset Hobo Tidbit V2) was deployed on the reef substrate at Saadiyat reef which recorded at 60-minute intervals for the temporal series (Figure S1 of Ketchum et al., 2021). Chlorophyll concentrations were obtained from MODIS AQUA (https://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov) level 3 monthly averaged data, and salinity data were obtained from a numeric ocean model: the 1/12 Global Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM; https://www.hycom.org/data/glbu0pt08/expt-91pt2) at 12:00:00 UTC on the day of collections.
