John C. Ogden and Sandra Vargo Chris Humphrey and Jeff Absten James C. Hendee Cathy Woodey 20120524 http://data.nodc.noaa.gov/accession/0098080 The Florida Institute of Oceanography's (FIO) SEAKEYS (Sustained Ecological Research Related to Management of the Florida Keys Seascape) program began in 1989 and has continued until the present. This program, now being supported through NOAA's South Florida Ecosystem Restoration, Prediction and Modeling Program (SFERPM), implements a framework for long-term monitoring and research along the 220 mile Florida coral reef tract and in Florida Bay at a geographical scale encompassing the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS). The network consists of six instrument-enhanced Coastal-Marine Automated Network (C-MAN) stations, cooperatively managed with NOAA's National Data Buoy Center, plus a proposed new one in northwest Florida Bay. These stations measure the usual C-MAN meteorological parameters, such as wind speed, gusts and barometric pressure, but are enhanced with oceanographic instruments measuring salinity, sea temperature, fluorometry and turbidity." 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. -9 in the data set indicates that the parameter is unavailable 20110101 20111231 ground condition In Work Unknown -80.38 -80.38 25.01 25.01 CoRIS Discovery Thesaurus Numeric Data Sets > Meteorology ISO 19115 Topic Category oceans 014 CoRIS Theme Thesaurus EARTH SCIENCE > Oceans > Ocean Optics > Photosynthetically Active Radiation EARTH SCIENCE > Oceans > Ocean Optics > Ultraviolet Radiation None Coral Reef Remote Sensing Physical Oceanography Coral Reef SEAKEYS C-MAN CoRIS Place Thesaurus COUNTRY/TERRITORY > United States of America > Florida > Monroe County > Molasses Reef (25N080W0003) OCEAN BASIN > Atlantic Ocean > North Atlantic Ocean > Florida Reef Tract > Upper Florida Keys > Molasses Reef (25N080W0003) None Florida Keys Molasses Reef Florida Florida Reef Tract CoRIS Region Florida None none James C.
