Abstract

The analysis of high temporal resolution temperature environmental series in coastal areas it will allow a better characterization of the forms and scales of variation. The databases currently available they lack sufficient resolution to detect environmental variations on a scale of hours and days. In this work we present a collection of high-frequency logs from various sites along the coasts of the Baja California Peninsula. So far there are 47 sites; however, this monitoring network intends to expand with the objective of generating databases of public and free access, providing a valuable tool not only for research, but also for applications such as production aquaculture.
