监测水生沃茨的温度非常重要，模拟数据、卫星数据和现场数据为长期环境变化提供了宝贵的见解。然而，通常缺乏深度分辨的温度测量。可潜式计算机定期记录温度和深度，因此可以提供一个替代的和高度新颖的海洋信息来源，以填补这一数据空白。在这项研究中，使用公民科学方法获得了7,000多名水肺潜水员的温度分布。通过将潜水计算机与科学电导率-温度-深度仪器和现有表面温度数据进行比较，评估了温度记录的准确性、偏移和滞后。我们的研究结果表明，与处理，潜水计算机可以提供一个有用的和新颖的工具，以增强现有的监测系统遍布地球仪，但特别是在采样不足或高度多变的沿海环境。
Monitoring temperature of aquatic waters is of great importance, with modelled, satellite and in-situ data providing invaluable insights into long-term environmental change. However, there is often a lack of depth-resolved temperature measurements. Recreational dive computers routinely record temperature and depth, so could provide an alternate and highly novel source of oceanographic information to fill this data gap. In this study, a citizen science approach was used to obtain over 7,000 scuba diver temperature profiles. The accuracy, offset and lag of temperature records was assessed by comparing dive computers with scientific conductivity-temperature-depth instruments and existing surface temperature data. Our results show that, with processing, dive computers can provide a useful and novel tool with which to augment existing monitoring systems all over the globe, but especially in under-sampled or highly changeable coastal environments.
