End Date: 2014-05-07   The Location will be updated to: Northern Boundary: 20.545262 Southern Boundary: 13.241246 Eastern Boundary: 145.853633 Western Boundary: 144.69916   Addition to Ships or Platforms Used: Please add: “Small Boat” Addition to Sea Areas or Regions: Please add: “Marianas Trench Marine National Monument”  The title will be updated to: “National Coral Reef Monitoring Program: Water Temperature Data from Subsurface Temperature Recorders (STRs) deployed at coral reef sites across the Marianas Archipelago with time-series spanning 2011-04-07 to 2014-05-07.”   The Abstract will be updated to: “Water temperature time series data provided in this data set are from subsurface temperature recorders (STRs) deployed for a period of 3 years at permanent sites within coral reef ecosystems 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 in 2011 and recovered during an ESD-led NCRMP mission to the Marianas in 2014.The high-accuracy temperature loggers made by SeaBird Electronics (SBE) 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 5-60 minutes; the current sample interval is 5 minutes. Each time an STR was recovered another STR was typically deployed at the same location and depth and was assigned the same OCC_SITEID. Data were downloaded using the SeaBird SeaTerm V2 program and post-processed using R to trim “out of water” data.”  The Dataset Author List will be updated to:“Coral Reef Ecosystem Program; Ecosystem Sciences Division; Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center”  The Purpose will be updated to:“Water temperature data are collected using subsurface temperature recorders (STRs) that aid in the monitoring of seawater temperature variability at coral reef sites in the Hawaiian and Mariana Archipelagos, American Samoa, and the Pacific Remote Island Areas as part of the NOAA National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP). NCRMP details a long term approach to provide an ecosystem perspective via monitoring climate, fish, benthic, and socioeconomic variables in a consistent and integrated manner. The NCRMP is intended to coordinate various NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP) biological, physical, and human dimensions activities into a cohesive NOAA-wide effort. Through the implementation of the NCRMP, NOAA will be able to clearly and concisely communicate results of national-scale monitoring to national, state, and territorial policy makers, resource managers, and the public on a periodic basis. To support a long-term Coral Reef Conservation Program for sustainable management and conservation of coral reef ecosystems water temperature time series data—along with other data collected at the survey sites (archived separately under NCRMP)—are used to help scientists assess and understand how coral reefs monitored by the NOAA Ecosystem Sciences Division (ESD) are responding to thermal stress. The NOAA National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP) is a framework for conducting sustained observations of biological, climate, and socioeconomic indicators at 10 priority coral reefs across the U.S. and its territories. This integrated approach will consolidate monitoring of coral reefs under a uniform method in the Pacific, Atlantic, Caribbean, and the Gulf of Mexico for the first time. NCRMP is funded by the Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP) and supported by NOAA Fisheries, NOAA National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS), NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic & Meteorological Laboratory (AOML), NOAA Coral Reef Watch, and many other partners. The Ecosystem Sciences Division (ESD) at NOAA Fisheries is leading in-situ climate monitoring in the U.S. Pacific Islands Region. The climate component of NCRMP in the Pacific provides a comprehensive view of climate change impacts on coral reef ecosystems and helps identify areas of resilience and vulnerability. The key indicators used to identify and monitor climate-driven trends include 1) thermal stress caused by changes in sea temperature, 2) ocean acidification resulting from changes in carbonate chemistry, and 3) ecological impacts by collecting data on coral growth rates, erosion, and community structure to understand the impacts of thermal stress and ocean acidification on the ecosystem. Each year, ESD scientists work closely with CRCP and partners during Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program (RAMP) missions to collect data using moored oceanographic (subsurface temperature recorders) and ecological (calcification accretion units [CAUs] and autonomous reef monitoring structures [ARMS]) instruments stationed at fixed sites in the Pacific Ocean, and water samples collected by divers. The in-situ data and satellite-based observations are also used in modeling efforts. Innovative analysis techniques are used to develop products that give fellow scientists, managers, decision makers and the public a better understanding of a region’s resources and how they are changing over time.”   Update References, Please Add: RK Hoeke, JM Gove, E Smith, P Fisher-Pool, M Lammers, D Merritt, OJ Vetter, CW Young, KB Wong & RE Brainard (2009) Coral reef ecosystem integrated observing system: In-situ oceanographic observations at the US Pacific islands and atolls, Journal of Operational Oceanography, 2:2, 3-14, DOI: 10.1080/1755876X.2009.12027737  The files comprising this package are:   ESD_NCRMP_Temperature_2014_Marianas.zip  ESD_NCRMP_Temperature_2014_Marianas_split.zip ESD_NCRMP_Temperature_2014_Marianas_QC.pdf ESD_NCRMP_Temperature_2014_Marianas_README.txt    The Google Drive link where all new files for the package are stored: “CNMI 2014-STR  NCEI Temp Upload)”   Update the InPort XML files attached: These two files are also in the Google Drive directory: “CNMI 2014-STR  NCEI Temp Upload)”  Please let me know if you have any questions, thank you!  Kevin
