Coastal zones are some of the most productive and most threatened ecosystems on Earth, yet our ability to predict their vulnerability or resilience is limited due to the highly dynamic nature of these habitats. Importantly, surface temperatures measured at broad scales (e.g., by satellites) cannot capture onshore temperatures which vary at meso- and micro-scales due to, e.g., aspect, solar radiation, waves, etc. We monitored intertidal temperatures via data loggers deployed at 19 rocky intertida...
Show moreTemperature loggers were attached to the inside of a white PVC cap with cable ties, and the cap was bolted flush with the rock in the intertidal zone. Loggers were deployed at 1.0 meter (m) elevation (and, at some sites, 0.5 and 1.5 m) above MLLW (mean lower-low water) as determined using a laser level and tide predictions (https://tide.arthroinfo.org/). The loggers recorded temperatures continuously at 30-minute intervals.
