Abstract

This dataset includes hourly temperature data from deployments of HOBO pendant temperature loggers at three of the Phoenix Islands (Kiribati: Kanton Island, Rawaki Island, and Nikumaroro Island) between 2012 and 2018. These data were published in Fox et al., 2021 (DOI: 10.1029/2021GRL094128).

HOBO pendant temperature loggers were deployed on the fore reef slope of each island with a sampling resolution of 1 hour. The depth of the loggers are as follows:

Kanton 2012 to 2015-09-05 = 11 meters and afterward 15 meters
Nikumaroro = 8 meters
Rawaki = 11 meters
