PAR recorded by two Odyssey PAR loggers in the Florida Keys from 11-17 July 2017

This dataset presents the PAR light data recorded by the two Odyssey PAR loggers. The loggers were deployed July 11-17, 2017 in a subtropical inner shelf environment (Salinity: 35-36, temperature: 28-31°C) approximately 9 km south of Long Key in the Florida Keys (24° 43.52'N, 80° 49.85'W). The site was located at 9 ± 1 m water depth near the center of a large flat carbonate platform covered with coral sand. The instruments were installed on the 3OEC instrument at ~185 cm above the sediment-water interface.
