Abstract:
Time-series data of water temperature were collected at 33 locations along the west coast of the Island of Hawaii, including within Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park (KAHO), and Puu o Honaunau National Historical Park (PUHO) between 2010 and 2013 in nearshore coral reef and anchialine pool settings. Temperature sensors were attached to fossil limestone, rock or dead coral within otherwise healthy coral reef settings spanning water depths of 0.1 to 8.84 m (0.3 to 29.0 ft). Continuous measurements were made every 10 or 20 minutes. Due to the large amount of data, the dataset has been split into three files. WaterTempTimeSeries_KAHO-KC.csv includes data from nearshore coral reef locations within Kaloko Bay, which lies within the KAHO boundaries; WaterTempTimeSeries_KAHO.csv includes data from nearshore reef locations and two anchialine pools within the remainder of KAHO; WaterTempTimeSeries_westHawaii.csv includes data from nearshore coral reef locations along west Hawaii coastline, outside of the KAHO boundaries.
Purpose:
Continuous quantitative data from a range of depths and distances from shore were collected to characterize the temporal and spatial variability in water temperatures that influence coral reef habitats, coral health and the vulnerability of coral to bleaching. These data also establish important baseline information with which to track and identify changes owing to climate and land use change, including changes in runoff of terrestrial water and contaminants that can affect the quality of habitat for corals, fish and other wildlife of concern. Along the arid west coast of Hawaii Island terrestrial inputs of water occur primarily in the form of groundwater and this study focused on examining the extent that groundwater inputs to the coast influences coral reef water temperatures, coral health, and potential cold water refugia where corals may find resilience in light of observed increases in global coral bleaching associated with rising sea surface temperatures.
