Abstract:
Site Saipan, CNMI (15.2375N, 145.72283W) ARGOS Buoy ID 26105
Time series data from this mooring provide high resolution sea surface temperature, and surface atmospheric pressure, air temperature, compass, surface PAR, conductivity, 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.
Purpose:
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.
