This in situ temperature data was collected from HOBO pendent loggers at Cayo Mario and Cayo Enrique, La Parguera, Puerto Rico, from 06/30/2017 to 06/20/2019. The loggers were placed at different depths around the reefs, and the goal was to compare the in situ temperature to satellite SST to see how representative the satellite SST was of the temperature at the depth of the corals.

The dataset was collected on the research voyage (IN2018_V05 on RV Investigator) and from satellite observations. The dataset includes in-situ data and satellite data collected at the Polar Front (PF) south of Tasmania in a region where the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) has a permanent meander upstream of the Macquarie Ridge. This study characterises the upwelling of Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) in a standing meander of the ACC in the PF south of Tasmania and investigates the submesoscale processes associated with upwelling.
