©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.Light levels (lux) were measured at six coral reef sites in Palau during field seasons from 2021 to 2023. Loggers (Hobo Pendant, UA-002-64) were attached to threaded rods embedded in the reef using zip ties.
Data were collected from 6 sites located in the Republic of Palau from November 2021 to May 2023. Threaded rods (316 stainless steel, 1/4-20 size) were driven into dead coral or sand using a hammer or by hand. Duplicate loggers (Hobo Pendants) were attached to the top of rods at each site. Light loggers were only deployed for the duration of field seasons, because biofouling was expected to decrease the accuracy of light loggers over longer deployments. Irradiance (lux) was measured every 30 minutes.
