Sea surface temperature JPL MUR data, Belize Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System (MBRS), 2003-2015

Dataset: MBRS SST 2003-2015: MURThis dataset contains sea surface temperature data obtained from daily 1-km horizontal resolution SST estimates acquired from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s Multi-Scale High Resolution SST (JPL MUR SST) records via the Physical Oceanography Distributed Active Archive Center (PO.DAAC) at the NASA JPL, Pasadena, CA (http://podaac.jpl.nasa.gov). NOTE: Data from 2012 are given twice at each site; only the first set, along with the 2003-2011 data, was used in the original analysis in Baumann et al (2016). The 2012-2015 data were only available following revision in the peer review process. It became useful for making comparisons between the in-situ data and satellite data. These data were used in a coral study in: Baumann JH, Townsend JE, Courtney TA, Aichelman HE, Davies SW, Lima FP, et al. (2016) Temperature Regimes Impact Coral Assemblages along Environmental Gradients on Lagoonal Reefs in Belize. PLoS ONE 11(9): e0162098. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0162098.
