Hendee originator 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 Network, 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. underDevelopment James C.

Known data issues include: 1) Buoy was brought to land February 2nd - 3rd, 2015, for repairs relating to the analog AirT/RH sensor and the EXO water quality sensor. 2) Buoy was brought to land December 9th - 10th, 2015, for its annual maintenance operation at which time most of its sensors were inspected, recalibrated or replaced; one of its wind sensors (the Vaisala WXT, i.e. WDir2) was realigned and this physical correction was also back-applied to its direction data up to this point. 3) The analog AirT/RH sensor (AirT1, Humid1) was malfunctioning all year. 4) EXO was removed from the station both short- and long-term as follows: March 14th to 17th, 2015; two hours on May 12th, 2015; three hours on June 23rd, 2015; August 17th through December 10th, 2015. 5) EXO Conductivities and Salinities were unreliable as follows: January 17th to March 14th, 2015 and one reading on July 14th, 2015. 6) EXO sea temperatures were unreliable February 19th to March 14th, 2015. 7) Local maintenance team reports visits/cleanings on March 14th, March 17th, May May 12th, June 23rd and July 17th, 2015; many of these visits were primarily for removing or reinstalling the EXO water quality sonde. none Data have been manually screened and erroneous values due to instrument malfunction have been noted and/or removed. 2016-09-01T00:00:00 annually This metadata was automatically generated from the FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata standard (version FGDC-STD-001-1998) using the 2016-01-11 version of the FGDC RSE to ISO 19115-2 transform.
