MCR LTER: Coral Reef: Sensor Network: Bottom-mounted CTD Data - GUMPR, 2006-2012

First Year: 

2006

Last Year: 

2012
Physical oceanographic data from bottom-mounted instrumentation (Seabird 16+ CTD) were sampled year-round on Gump reef in Cooks Bay on Moorea, French Polynesia (GUMPR site). Sampling began in 2006 until early 2012. The CTD measured conductivity, temperature, pressure, from which density and salinity were calculated. Data were collected every 5 minutes, processed and reported every 20 minutes. The instrument is mounted 2 m above the bottom in 6 m of depth. These data streamed near real-time as part of the Digital Moorea project (no longer active.) Daily, weekly, monthly and yearly means were calculated for temperature, salinity, and density. This is a completed timeseries which ended early 2012.
