SEAKEYS - Sombrero Key 2005 Meteorological and Oceanographic Observations (NODC Accession 0058099)
https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/archive/accession/0058099
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; Photosynthetically Active Radiation is in microEinsteins; -9 in
the data set indicates that the parameter is unavailable

Data has been reviewed and edited in attempt to remove unreliable values.
none
Time, Air Temperature, Dew Point Temperature, Sea Temperature at 1 meters, Wind Direction, Max Wind Speed, Wind Gust, Wind Speed, Barometric Pressure, Conductivty, and Salinity are the only parameters available. 1) No SeaTempNDBC from 0-90. 2) No salinity and conductivity from day 0-41 and 305-365.
Data have been manually screened and erroneous values due to instrument malfunction have been
noted and/or removed.

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.
