This program, now being supported through NOAA's South Florida Ecosystem Restoration, Prediction and Modeling Program (SFERPM), implements a framework for long-term monitoring and research along the 220 mile Florida coral reef tract and in Florida Bay at a geographical scale encompassing the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS). The network consists of six instrument-enhanced Coastal-Marine Automated Network (C-MAN) stations, cooperatively managed with NOAA's National Data Buoy Center, plus a proposed new one in northwest Florida Bay. These stations measure the usual C-MAN meteorological parameters, such as wind speed, gusts and barometric pressure, but are enhanced with oceanographic instruments measuring salinity, sea temperature, fluorometry and turbidity. Purpose: The impetus for such a framework was the perceived marked regional decline in coral reefs and the critical need to provide data and options for resource management. Supplemental_Information: Salinity is in parts per thousand; Wind speed is in knots; barometric pressure is in millibars; wind direction is in degrees of the compass; temperature is in Celsius; Photosynthetically Active Radiation is in microEinsteins; -9 in the data set indicates that the parameter is unavailable Time_Period_of_Content: Time_Period_Information: Range_of_Dates/Times: Beginning_Date: 20000101 Ending_Date: 20001231 Currentness_Reference: ground condition Status: Progress: In Work Maintenance_and_Update_Frequency: Unknown Spatial_Domain: Bounding_Coordinates: West_Bounding_Coordinate: -80.38 East_Bounding_Coordinate: -80.38 North_Bounding_Coordinate: 25.01 South_Bounding_Coordinate: 25.01 Keywords: Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: NCEI Geoportal Filter Theme_Keyword: CoRIS_Metadata Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: CRCP Project Theme_Keyword: Coral Reef Watch - CREWS component Theme_Keyword: 1101-03 Theme_Keyword: Coral Reef Watch - CREWS component Theme_Keyword: 1136 Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: CoRIS Discovery Thesaurus Theme_Keyword: Numeric Data Sets > Oceanography Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: CoRIS Theme Thesaurus Theme_Keyword: EARTH SCIENCE > Oceans > Salinity/Density > Salinity Theme_Keyword: EARTH SCIENCE > Oceans > Ocean Temperature > Sea Surface Temperature Theme_Keyword: EARTH SCIENCE > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Pressure > Sea Level Pressure Theme_Keyword: EARTH SCIENCE > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Temperature > Air Temperature Theme_Keyword: EARTH SCIENCE > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Winds > Surface Winds Theme_Keyword: EARTH SCIENCE > Oceans > Ocean Optics > Photosynthetically Active Radiation Theme_Keyword: EARTH SCIENCE > Oceans > Salinity/Density > Conductivity Theme_Keyword: EARTH SCIENCE > Oceans > Coastal Processes > Coral Reefs Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: None Theme_Keyword: Physical Oceanography Theme_Keyword: SEAKEYS Theme_Keyword: C-MAN Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: ISO 19115 Topic Category Theme_Keyword: oceans Theme_Keyword: 014 Place: Place_Keyword_Thesaurus: CoRIS Place Thesaurus Place_Keyword: OCEAN BASIN > Atlantic Ocean > North Atlantic Ocean > Florida Reef Tract > Upper Florida Keys > Molasses Reef (25N080W0003) Place_Keyword: COUNTRY/TERRITORY > United States of America > Florida > Monroe County > Molasses Reef (25N080W0003) Place: Place_Keyword_Thesaurus: None Place_Keyword: Florida Keys Place_Keyword: Florida Reef Tract Place: Place_Keyword_Thesaurus: CoRIS Region Place_Keyword: Florida Access_Constraints: None Use_Constraints: none Point_of_Contact: Contact_Information: Contact_Person_Primary: Contact_Person: James C.
