USGS Thermal Tower Reef Camera Timestack, Papaloloa, Ofu, American Samoa

A digital thermal camera was installed at Papaloloa reef on Ofu, American Samoa and faced west along the beach. Every minute from February 3, 2020, to August 1, 2020, the camera collected raw radiometric snapshot images. The camera is part of a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) research project to study the effects of temperature on coral reef health. USGS researchers analyzed the timestack imagery collected from this camera to remotely sense information such as submarine groundwater discharge and temperature residence times. This camera is part of the USGS Coral Reef Project under the Coastal and Marine Hazards and Resources Program (CMHRP).
