Davies Reef Depth Measurements from 2009 to 2016

Depth data collected by the Great Barrier Reef Wireless Sensor Network from 07 December 2009 to 12 July 2016. The dataset is part of the Wireless Sensor Networks Facility within the Great Barrier Reef Ocean Observing System project, managed by the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System. It is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Monitor reef depth changes over time based on the multi-year time series.
• Analyze oceanographic conditions at Davies Reef based on sensor network data.
• Model coastal erosion or sediment transport patterns based on depth measurements.
• Validate satellite-derived bathymetry models with in-situ sensor data.

Strengths

• Data collection spans over six and a half years, from December 2009 to July 2016.
• Collected by a dedicated facility (Wireless Sensor Networks Facility) as part of a national observing system (IMOS).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
