Data associated with the publication 'Ecological drivers of parrotfish coral predation vary across spatial scales', comparing parrotfish coral predation intensity as it relates to parrotfish density/biomass, coral cover, and other ecological variables from the scale of individual coral colonies to reefs spanning four regions of the Greater Caribbean. This dataset includes several datasets:

1) regional_coral_scar_data.csv: Surveys of coral colonies (with and without parrotfish predation scars) across all regions.

This dataset includes near real-time global ocean temperature and salinity measurements taken by shipboard observers or automated instruments and received daily by the Marine Environmental Data Section (MEDS) of the Ocean Sciences Branch of Fisheries and Oceans Canada from the Global Telecommunication System (GTS) of the WMO World Weather Watch. MEDS applies the documented GTSPP quality assessment and duplicates removal procedures and forwards the quality-checked data three times each week to the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI).

National Weather Service (NWS) Drought Information Statements are produced by NWS Weather Forecast Offices to describe conditions associated with drought in their area. They provide up-to-date reports on the current drought situation for the Weather Forecast Offices' county warning and forecast area. These statements summarize recent weather and hydrologic conditions, discuss local drought impacts, and provide a local drought outlook.

This dataset includes water temperature, salinity, and other parameter profiles taken by CTD from the R/V Discovery, cruise DY16902, on the NW Atlantic shelf. Dataset consists of netCDF files of downcast CTD data collected at 84 CTD stations. This cruise is U.S. State Department MSR U2023-013 as part of the World Data Service for Oceanography.

The data included are geographic information layers relevant to sportfish ecology, land development, community planning, zoning, coastal zone management, storm water management, future land use, land ownership, and planning tools and techniques aggregated from other sources during the project titled "Knowledge Co-Production for Place-Based Recreational Fishery Conservation in Charlotte Harbor, Florida". Data contributors assume no liability for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies in the information provided regardless of how caused.

This dataset contains an operational Satellite Ocean Heat Content Suite (SOHCS) product generated by NOAA National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS). The operational algorithm implemented was developed at the University of Miami/Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS). The SOHCS product measures the integrated vertical temperature from the sea surface to the depth of the 26°C isotherm.

NOAA-20 (N20/JPSS-1/J1) is the second satellite in the US NOAA latest generation Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS), launched on November 18, 2017. NOAA is responsible for all JPSS products, including SST from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS).

The data in this record contains the physical and chemical vertical observational data from fixed mooring CHRP1 in the central basin of Lake Erie, Great Lakes region from 2023-05-18 through 2023-09-29. The approximate depth at CHRP1 is 12.2 m. Observations were collected at hourly or sub-hourly time intervals for water temperature and dissolved oxygen. The moorings are designed in a U-shape with a spar buoy and a subsurface buoy approximately 300 ft apart. The spar buoy has a surface expression float and holds the upper water column sensors.

Physical, chemical, and biological water quality data from the western basin of Lake Erie collected during the 2022 field seasons. These data were collected along transects running from bloom-free to bloom-prone areas.

This dataset contains the trajectory profile data from glider SBU01-04 from one seasonal deployment to investigate conditions in the Middle Atlantic Bight including the monitoring of ocean acidification. The glider used for the automated observation includes an integrated deep rated version of the Ion Sensitive Field Effect Transistor (ISFET)-based pH sensor.
