From: Mark J Costello Date: Thu, Apr 9, 2015 at 9:54 PM Subject: coastal seawater temperature series data To: "nodc.dataofficer@noaa.gov" Cc: Thomas Ryan - NOAA Federal Dear NODC We’d be pleased if you could include our laboratory 40+ year sea temperature dataset and future updates in your data centre. We have published this online through our university repository to maximise its use. Evans, J., & Atkins, J. (2013). Seawater temperature dataset at Goat Island, Leigh New Zealand from 1967 to 2011. University of Auckland Dataset: http://hdl.handle.net/2292/20612 And Atkins, J. (2014) Seawater Temperature dataset at Goat Island, Leigh New Zealand from October 2011 to present https://researchspace.auckland.ac.nz/handle/2292/21850 The pre 2011 measurements were mostly taken by Jo Evans, the laboratory technician now retired, and are now managed by John Atkins. The published measurements were taken from a bucket lowered into the surface water using a calibrated mercury thermometer at about 9am each day. From 2013 they moved to a more frequent digital measurement in the lab seawater intake. A calibration was done and the difference was negligible.
