Water Temperature at Agincourt Reef 3 from 1991

Australian Ocean Data Network collected this water temperature data set from weather sensors deployed on the AIMS Weather Station site Agincourt Reef Number 3. The data collection began on 22 February 1991. The dataset was last updated on 22 March 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling coral reef thermal stress based on long-term water temperature data.
• Analyzing sea surface temperature trends at a specific reef location.
• Calibrating or validating satellite-derived sea surface temperature products with in-situ sensor data.

Strengths

• Data collection began on a specific date (22 February 1991), suggesting a long-term record.
• Data originates from a dedicated weather station (AIMS Weather Station), implying a controlled collection method.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
