Variation in the morphology, reproduction and development of the habitat-forming kelp Ecklonia radiata with changing temperature and nutrients (2013, methodology): “SST data were collected for the 6 sites using daytime data sourced from Bands 31 and 32 of the moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer aboard the Aqua satellite, which is an effective proxy for in situ SSTs for depths of up to 10 m (Smale & Wernberg 2009).”
Contrasting mechanisms of dislodgement and erosion contribute to production of kelp detritus (2013, background): “The study region exhibits maximum seawater temperature in the austral summer (i.e., December to February [Kirkman 1984; Smale and Wernberg 2009]), frequent storms generate large swell and waves in austral winter (i.e., June to August; Lemm et al. 1999), and the peak of fecundity for the kelp…”
Physiological responses of habitat‐forming seaweeds to increasing temperatures (2016, background): “Satellite SST’s are known to be a good proxy for in situ temperatures, although shot-term (days) events might not be fully captured (Smale and Wernberg 2009).”
The ‘golden kelp’ Laminaria ochroleuca under global change: Integrating multiple eco‐physiological responses with species distribution models (2018, methodology): “Sea- surface temperature data by satellite have the ability to detect general patterns of ecological importance and can be used as a reference to real environmental conditions (Smale & Wernberg, 2009).”
Biogenic habitat structure of seaweeds change along a latitudinal gradient in ocean temperature (2011, background): “%) between reefs at similar depth (Smale and Wernberg, 2009), and because most propagules from canopy-forming macroalgae have short dispersal distances (metres or less, e.g. Sargassum spinuligerum: Kendrick and Walker, 1991) resulting in low genetic connectivity between reefs (e.g. E. radiata:…”
The retreat of large brown seaweeds on the north coast of Spain: the case of Saccorhiza polyschides (2011, methodology): “These data were used to calibrate the satellite SST data, which can be inaccurate in areas very close to land (Smale & Wernberg, 2009 ).”
Global Observational Needs and Resources for Marine Biodiversity (2019, background): “For example, temperatures recorded in situ on coral reefs indicate patterns and extremes that are sometimes, but not always, directly extrapolated from measurements of SST (Smale and Wernberg, 2009; Castillo and Lima, 2010).”
