Davies Reef Salinity Measurements from 2009 to 2016

Salinity data collected from Davies Reef on the Great Barrier Reef between December 2009 and January 2016. The data was gathered by the Great Barrier Reef Wireless Sensor Network, part of the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS). It is managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Analyze long-term salinity trends in a coral reef environment based on the 2009-2016 time range
• Model reef ecosystem health based on salinity variations mentioned in the description
• Validate oceanographic models using in-situ sensor data from the Great Barrier Reef Wireless Sensor Network

Strengths

• Data spans over six years, from December 2009 to January 2016
• Collected by a dedicated sensor network facility (GBROOS/IMOS) as part of a national observing system

Limitations

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