FAIRsharing record for: ReefTEMPS

This FAIRsharing record describes: ReefTEMPS is a sensors network initiated in 1958 to monitor the coastal area of the South, West and South-West Pacific. This long-term observatory allows the acquisition of several parameters: sea temperature, electrical conductivity / practical salinity, sea pressure / waves height & period / sea level, fluorescence, turbidity, with high or medium frequency (from 1 second to 30 minutes). The main objective is to study the climatic parameters of the tropical ocean with a focus on the coastal sea waters to monitor the long-term effects of global climate change and its impact on coral reefs.
