Abstract

This dataset includes seawater temperature data from Carrie Bow Caye, Belize recorded from January to December 2017. These data were used in Pitts et al. 2020 (doi:10.1007/s00338-019-01888-4). Further details on the larger dataset from which these data came can be found in Helmuth et al. 2020 (doi:10.1038/s41597-020-00733-6).
