SEAKEYS - Sand Key 2006 Meteorological and Oceanographic Observations (NODC Accession 0058100)
https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/archive/accession/0058100
The Florida Institute of Oceanography's (FIO) SEAKEYS (Sustained Ecological Research Related to Management of the
Florida Keys Seascape) program began in 1989 and has continued until the present. 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.
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.
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; -9 in the data set indicates that the
parameter is unavailable.

coral reef
Coral reefs are wave-resistant structures resulting from cementation processes and the skeletal construction of
hermatypic corals, calcareous algae, and other calcium carbonate-secreting organisms.
