Abstract

Ocean water temperatures were collected from May 14, 1992 to August 22, 2023 (these logger deployments are ongoing) from 10 meters benthic depth, at Van Damme State Park, Mendocino County, Northern California. Water temperatures were collected with Onset Hobotemp® and TidbiT® temperature loggers in degrees Celsius. Data are presented as daily averages of 10-minute minimum intervals. Ocean water temperatures were collected to document long-term temperature conditions on the bottom at the level...

Onset Hobotemp® and TidbiT® temperature loggers were deployed and retrieved by SCUBA from CA Dept. Fish and Wildlife patrol boats, UC Davis boats, or occasionally by swimming from shore. The loggers were attached 1 meter above the substrate on a recruitment module at 10 meters depth.
