Continuous bottom temperature measurements in strategic areas of the Florida Reef Tract at Diego Restoration Site, 2004 - 2006 (NODC Accession 0014320)

The purpose of this project is to document bottom seawater temperature in strategic areas of the Florida Reef Tract on a continuing basis and make that information available to management and research user groups. This ongoing project began in 1988. This accession is a continuation of Accession 0002807 for the years of 2004 to 2006. A total of 38 subsurface recording thermographs have been deployed in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS)and at other selected locations on the Florida Reef Tract and associated hydrologic ecosystems. These instruments have been programmed to record at 2 hour intervals and are placed in permanent housings attached to suitable substrate. Data retrieval, servicing and reprogramming for continuous deployment have occurred, on average, annually. Initially, the collected data are made available to FKNMS Managers and others who monitor and assess environmental conditions that influence FKNMS areas of the Florida Reef Tract. An archival copy of these data is maintained and available from the US NODC.

本项目旨在持续记录佛罗里达礁岛群（Florida Reef Tract）关键区域的底层海水温度，并将相关数据向管理与科研用户群体开放共享。本长期监测项目始于1988年。本次入藏数据集为入藏号0002807的延续，涵盖2004年至2006年的监测数据。研究团队总计在佛罗里达群岛国家海洋保护区（Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, FKNMS）以及佛罗里达礁岛群其他选定点位与相关水文生态系统中，部署了38台水下底层海水温度记录仪。这些仪器被设定为每2小时采集一次数据，并安装于固定在合适海底基底的永久性防护外壳内。为维持持续部署而开展的数据回收、设备维护与程序重配置工作，平均每年进行一次。项目初期，采集得到的数据会向佛罗里达群岛国家海洋保护区（FKNMS）管理人员，以及其他监测、评估影响佛罗里达礁岛群FKNMS区域环境状况的相关人员开放共享。此类数据的存档副本由美国国家海洋数据中心（US NODC）保存并对外提供。
