Coral Creek Weather Station Wind Data from October 1980 to July 1985

Wind data collected by weather sensors deployed at the Coral Creek WS site operated by the Australian Institute of Marine Science. The Australian Ocean Data Network hosts this dataset, which covers a specific period from 16 October 1980 to 30 July 1985. The data was last updated in the platform's system on 28 April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze historical wind trends based on the multi-year time series mentioned in the description
• Model local microclimate effects on coral reefs based on data from a dedicated weather station
• Validate or calibrate regional climate models based on point-source sensor data from the Coral Creek site

Strengths

• Data covers a defined multi-year period from 16 October 1980 to 30 July 1985
• Sourced from a dedicated weather station at a specific site (Coral Creek WS)
• Hosted by the authoritative Australian Ocean Data Network

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data may reflect temporal bias inherent to the 1980-1985 collection period
