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.
