ReefTEMPS is a network of sensors of temperature, pressure, salinity and other observables in the coastal domain of the South, West and South West Pacific, operated by UMR ENTROPIE. ReefTEMPS is a National Observation Service (SNO) part of the French research infrastructure "littoral and coastal environments" IR ILICO.

The objectives are Long-term monitoring of climate change and its effects on the state of coral reefs and their resources in the Pacific region Study the large-scale climate and regional and local climatic variations of the coastal domain of the different island states of the South and South-West Pacific through time series, mainly of seawater temperature.

The partners involved in the management and piloting of the network are :
