Water Temperature Data For Dongsha Atoll, South China Sea

Water temperature data in and around Dongsha Atoll (Taiwan), northern South China Sea. The dataset spans from 2013 to 2016, with temporal coverage varying among the 20 sampling sites. The data are stored in a MATLAB structure; including temperature in °C, time in UTC (i.e. GMT) in MATLAB date format, latitude, longitude, and water depth of the sensor. All data were collected with Onset Corp. HOBO U22 temperature loggers, which were all calibrated in an isothermal bath before deployment to an accuracy of 0.1 °C. The temperature loggers were deployed on subsurface floats, typically ~1 meter above the bed.中国南海北部东沙环礁（中国台湾地区）及其周边海域的海水温度数据集。本数据集的时间跨度为2013年至2016年，20个采样站点的时间覆盖范围各有不同。数据以MATLAB结构体（MATLAB structure）形式存储，包含以摄氏度（°C）为单位的海水温度、采用MATLAB日期格式的协调世界时（UTC，即格林尼治标准时间GMT）时间、传感器的纬度、经度以及布设水深。所有数据均由Onset Corp.生产的HOBO U22温度记录仪采集，所有记录仪在部署前均在恒温水浴中完成校准，校准精度可达0.1°C。该温度记录仪被部署于水下浮标上，通常距海床约1米处。
