Sea Temperature, TidbiT Probe Network, West Coast of Ireland, Marine Institute 2004 - Present

The dataset provides sea surface temperature and sea temperature information from a network of internal logging temperature sensors at 17 locations around the Irish coast. The TidbiT Temperature loggers have recorded hourly at each site providing a comprehensive time series dataset on sea temperature on the west coast of Ireland at salmon aquaculture sites. TidbiT data has been collected since 2004. Temperature is measured by ONSET TidbiT data loggers attached mostly to ropes in the water column with sensor precision ±0.2 °C accuracy over a wide temperature range. Sea temperature is invaluable in understanding the marine conditions at aquaculture sites. TidbiT sea temperature collected by the Aquaculture team of the Marine Institute (Ireland). Data completed for sensor operational periods. There are some incomplete periods of sea temperature coverage where issues with sensors arise.
