Washington kelp forest subtidal temperature data

This dataset includes environmental temperature data from kelp forest sites in the Salish Sea of Washington State, USA. There are 8 different sites, from South Puget Sound (Squaxin Island, Tacoma Narrows) to Central Puget Sound (Vashon Island, Lincoln Park, Edmonds) and North Puget Sound / the San Juan Islands (Turn Rock, Gordon Island, Cherry Point). Subtidal temperature and pressure sensors (HOBO Onset Water Level Logger, U20L-02) were installed near the seafloor at each site via SCUBA between -3 to -5 m depth relative to mean lower low water (MLLW). Sensors were swapped every 3-5 months for 1 year.

本数据集涵盖美国华盛顿州萨利希海（Salish Sea）海带林站点的环境温度数据。共设8个独立采样站点，分布范围涵盖南普吉特湾（斯夸克斯岛、塔科马峡湾）、中普吉特湾（瓦雄岛、林肯公园、埃德蒙兹）以及北普吉特湾/圣胡安群岛（特恩岩、戈登岛、切里角）。研究人员通过水肺潜水（SCUBA）在各站点的近海底区域部署潮下带温度与压力传感器，设备型号为HOBO Onset水位记录仪（HOBO Onset Water Level Logger, U20L-02），部署深度相对于平均低潮面（mean lower low water, MLLW）为-3米至-5米。所有传感器每3至5个月更换一次，整个监测周期持续1年。
