Nanwan Bay (NW) is a small, semi-enclosed bay at the southern tip of Taiwan. NW features well-developed fringing reefs along the coast and to a depth of approximately 30 metres.
Data were captured at two locations in NW: the bottom of a seamount, S-rock (SR) and at the inlet of the Tai-power third nuclear power plant (IL). Seawater temperature alone was recorded at SR, while both temperature and sea level were recorded simultaneously at IL. Measurements were taken at a depth of 30 metres and 5 metres at SR and IL, respectively.
This dataset contains two files provided in the MATLAB .mat format: nw_sroc_T_200705_200809.mat and nw_inlet_lvl_200705_200810.mat.
nw_sroc_T_200705_200809.mat contains the data recorded at SR. This file includes the following variables:
ti_roc (day) - Day of temperature reading. Day 0 is January 1st 2007.
t_roc (degrees Celsius) - Temperature reading
The subset of data used in the accompanying study is May 5th 2007 to September 9th 2009.
nw_inlet_lvl_200705_200810.mat contains the data recorded at IL.
time - Time and date of fate collection
time_j - Julian day of date
el (meters) - Elevation of sea level
t (degrees Celsius) - Temperature reading
Analyses of these data are presented in the accompanying publication.
