Dataset title: Water Temperature measured at Shark River, Everglades National Park (FCE) from July 2007 to June 2011 Dataset ID: PHY_Rosenblatt_003 Research type: Long-Term Physical Dataset Creator Name: Mr. Adam Rosenblatt Position: Graduate Student Organization: Florida International University, BBC, MSB 334 Address: 3000 NE 151 St North Miami, FL 33181 USA Phone: 305-919-4263 Fax: 305-919-4030 Email: arose007@fiu.edu URL: http://adam.rosenblatt.googlepages.com/home Metadata Provider Organization: Florida Coastal Everglades LTER Program Address: Florida International University University Park OE 148 Miami, FL 33199 USA Phone: 305-348-6054 Email: fcelter@fiu.edu URL: http://fcelter.fiu.edu Dataset Abstract Between 2007 and 2011 we placed HOBO continuous water temperature loggers at 17 locations in the Shark River Estuary for various lengths of times. These stations expanded FCE's spatial coverage in terms of temperature monitoring in the estuary.

Six of the loggers recorded the temperature every 10min and 2 of the loggers recorded the temperature every 15min. Method Step Description Temperature data was collected by 17 HOBO Water Temp Pro v2 temperature loggers (one at each site) positioned approximately 10cm above the river bottom. All of the loggers recorded the temperature every 10 min but the data in the datasets are presented as daily averages for simplicity. Instrumentation HOBO Water Temp Pro v2 (Onset, Bourne, MA) Quality Control Quality control consisted of checking the temperature readings at each station with a YSI probe at least once every 2-6 weeks and then comparing the YSI readings to the HOBO logger readings.
