ICON - Lao Lao Bay, Saipan 2011 Meteorological and Oceanographic Observations (NODC Accession 0098076)

The Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML)
of OAR is conducting research on the influence of meteorological
and oceanographic factors upon coral bleaching, and other
biogeochemical processes occurring on coral reefs. Instrument
arrays to measure the various environmental influences are being
deployed at key coral reef areas to gain long-term temporally
intensive data coverage, to provide near real-time information
products, and to surface-truth NOAA satellite sea surface
temperature (SST) products used for coral bleaching predictions
("HotSpot" products). OAR has developed expert system software
plus the instrument array (together called a Coral Reef Early
Warning System, or ICON, station) to screen data in near
real-time to test for appropriate data ranges for each of the
instruments, and to issue "alerts" as to conditions thought to be
conducive to coral bleaching, and other modeled events. At each
ICON station, local collaborators also provide feedback on the
presence and progress of coral bleaching and thus validate coral
bleaching predictions made by satellite HotSpots and ICON
information products.
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 practical salinity units; Wind speed is
in knots; barometric pressure is in hectoPascals;
wind direction is in degrees of the compass;
temperature is in Celsius; photosynthetically active
radiation is in mmol quanta m-2 s-1 ; Ultraviolet
Radiation is in units of mW m-2nm-1
Relative humidity is in units of g m-3; Hail/Rain
amount is in mm hr-1, hail/rain duration and intensity is in seconds
-9 in the data set indicates that the parameter is unavailable
