[Coral-List] long term water temperature in the Florida Keys

[Gene Shinn]

Tom, Aside from Jamaica it will be interesting to see actual water 
temperature from Florida Keys reefs. Between the 15 years of 
thermograph data recorded since 1974 by Harold Hudson at USGS and the 
more extensive data he has accumulated up to the present with NOAA 
there should be more than 30 years of recorded water temperature data 
available.  Perhaps this actual long term data could be thrown into 
the global warming and ocean acidification mix and see what we can 
learn. Gene
