description: temperature data from three monitoring programs (TCRMP, VINPS, CSUN) derived from raw values recorded from loggers every 15 min (TCRMP) or 1 hr (VINPS). Reduced size of data by calculating daily average, min, max temperatures. VINPS and TCRMP sites have raw temperature data from loggers every 15-60 minutes, but these are not availble for CSUN sites, so used VINPS Yawzi temperatures for CSUN sites White Point, Europa, West Little Lameshur Bay, Yawzi, and Neptune, and VINPS Tektite temperatures for CSUN sites East Tektite, Tektite, Cabritte Horn.
