National Coral Reef Monitoring Program: Water Temperature Data from Subsurface Temperature Recorders (STRs) deployed at coral reef sites in the Pacific Remote Island Areas from 2011 to 2023.

Water temperature time series data provided in this data set are from subsurface temperature recorders (STRs) deployed at permanent coral reef sites across the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument (PRIMNM) by the NOAA Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC), Ecosystem Sciences Division (ESD; formerly the Coral Reef Ecosystem Division) as part of the NOAA National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP). The STRs were deployed for a period of 1-6 years from 2011 to 2023 and recovered during ESD-led NCRMP missions to the PRIMNM in 2014, 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2023.

The high-accuracy temperature loggers made by Sea-Bird Electronics (SBE) or RBR Ltd. were weighted and strapped to solid substrate on the seafloor by SCUBA divers at depths ranging from 0 to 30 meters at permanent monitoring sites established by ESD's Ocean and Climate Change team. Sample interval over time ranges from 30 seconds to 60 minutes; though the current sample interval used is 5 minutes. Each instance an STR was recovered from a fixed reef site, another STR was typically deployed at the same location and depth and was also assigned the same OCC_SITEID. Data were downloaded using the SeaBird SeaTerm V2 or RBR Ruskinv2 programs and post-processed using R to trim out of water data.
