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.

本数据集涵盖美国华盛顿州萨利希海（Salish Sea）海带林区域的环境温度数据。本次数据集共包含8处采样点位，覆盖范围从南普吉特湾（斯夸克斯岛、塔科马海峡）、中普吉特湾（瓦雄岛、林肯公园、埃德蒙兹）延伸至北普吉特湾/圣胡安群岛（特恩岩、戈登岛、切里角）。研究人员借助水肺潜水（SCUBA），在各点位相对于平均低低潮（MLLW，Mean Lower Low Water）的-3米至-5米水深的海底附近，部署了潮下带温度与压力传感器——HOBO Onset水位记录仪（HOBO Onset Water Level Logger, U20L-02）。该传感器每3至5个月更换一次，整个监测周期为1年。
