Purpose: To document differences in variation in water temperature around Saipan and Rota to allow correlation with documented environmental changes, such as coral bleaching events. Supplemental_Information: Limited location data for 1999. Additional information deployment dates, instrument types, locations, etc. is available in this file. http://www.cnmicoralreef.net/rp/Temperature_about.xls Time_Period_of_Content: Time_Period_Information: Range_of_Dates/Times: Beginning_Date: 19990302 Ending_Date: present Currentness_Reference: ground condition Status: Progress: In Work Maintenance_and_Update_Frequency: As Needed Spatial_Domain: Description_of_Geographic_Extent: Saipan, Rota Bounding_Coordinates: West_Bounding_Coordinate: 145.118153 East_Bounding_Coordinate: 145.854964 North_Bounding_Coordinate: 15.309908 South_Bounding_Coordinate: 14.062272 Bounding_Altitudes: Altitude_Minimum: -14 Altitude_Maximum: 0 Altitude_Distance_Units: Meters Keywords: Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: NCEI Geoportal Filter Theme_Keyword: CoRIS_Metadata Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: None Theme_Keyword: temperature Theme_Keyword: Saipan Theme_Keyword: Rota Theme_Keyword: fore reef Theme_Keyword: lagoon Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: ISO 19115 Topic Category Theme_Keyword: environment Theme_Keyword: 007 Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: CoRIS Theme Thesaurus Theme_Keyword: EARTH SCIENCE > Oceans > Ocean Temperature > Water Temperature Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: CoRIS Discovery Thesaurus Theme_Keyword: Numeric Data Sets > Oceanography Place: Place_Keyword_Thesaurus: None Place_Keyword: Saipan Place_Keyword: Rota Place: Place_Keyword_Thesaurus: CoRIS Place Thesaurus Place_Keyword: COUNTRY/TERRITORY > Northern Mariana Islands > Saipan > Saipan Island (15N145E0002) Place_Keyword: OCEAN BASIN > Pacific Ocean > Western Pacific Ocean > Saipan Island > Saipan Island (15N145E0002) Place_Keyword: OCEAN BASIN > Pacific Ocean > Western Pacific Ocean > Rota Island > Rota Island ( Luta ) (14N145E0007) Place_Keyword: COUNTRY/TERRITORY > Northern Mariana Islands > Rota > Rota Island ( Luta ) (14N145E0007) Place: Place_Keyword_Thesaurus: CoRIS Region Place_Keyword: CNMI Access_Constraints: None Use_Constraints: Data set is not for us in litigation.
