ICON - Rainbow Gardens Reef 2003 Meteorological and Oceanographic Observations (CMRC1-Lee Stocking Island, Bahamas) (NODC Accession 0049498)
https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/archive/accession/0049498
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 an Integrated Coral Observing Nework, 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 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
