Site Palmyra Atoll, (5.88467, -162.10281 ) ARGOS ID 307-001. Time series data from this mooring provide high resolution sea surface temperature and conductivity, and surface atmospheric pressure, air temperature, compass, surface PAR, salinity, surface UVB, subsurface PAR, and subsurface UVB, Direction component wind velocity U/V; for the surrounding coral reef ecosystem. Data telemetry also serves to alert researchers to the potential of imminent or ongoing coral reef bleaching or other natural events (hurricanes, storm damage, cooling, etc.) so that additional field observations and data collection efforts can be initiated, if warranted.
In situ monitoring of SST and meteorological conditions to correlate local conditions to coral health. Data telemetry to provide indications of current and imminent events. Ground truthing of various remote sensing products.

CREI CREWS Mooring Header File Telemetered datasets from the NOAA Fisheries Honolulu laboratory. Data columns are defined below. Units follow Systeme International(SI). Missing values are flagged with "nan"(not a number). Date/time are reported in UTC unless specified as local time zone. (Note The full scientific dataset will be uploaded upon recovery of the buoy. In the full datset all times are indexed to UTC.) column 01= Argos ID number column 02= Year of observation(YYYY) column 03= Month of observation(MM) column 04= Day of observation(DD) column 05= Hour of observation(0-23) eg. Data from the 11th hours was observed at 10:57 (For the telemetered dataset, the actual time of observation may be ' 30 min) column 06= Compass value, (N | 0-360); degrees column 07= Status of buoy's main battery(volts) column 08= U component of Wind Speed; z = 2 m; meters/sec column 09= V component of Wind Speed; z = 2 m; meters/sec column 10= Atmospheric pressure at z = 1.8 m; millibars column 11= Sea surface temperature at z = -0.3m; degrees C; (SBE39, Seabird Electronic Inc.) column 12 = Conductivity; (unused, no value) 0.000 - 8.191 S/m column 13 = Air temperature at z = 2 m; degrees C; column 14 = Surface PAR; z = 1.8 m; 00.0 - 2560 mmol s^-1 m^-2; column 15 = Subsurface PAR; z = -0.7 m; 00.0 -2560 mmol s^-1 m^-2 column 16 = Surface UVB; z = 1.8 m; 0 - 5.120 W m^-2 column 17 = Subsurface UVB; z = -0.7 m; 0 - 5.120 W m^-2 column 18 = Day of year (Jan 1st= 001)
