Lizard Island Air Pressure Data from the Great Barrier Reef

Air pressure data collected by the Great Barrier Reef Wireless Sensor Network, part of the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS). The data was collected by the Wireless Sensor Networks Facility, formerly known as FAIMMS, under the GBROOS project. The dataset is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on 2026-06-27.

Use Cases

• Correlating atmospheric pressure changes with marine weather patterns based on sensor network data.
• Studying the impact of air pressure on local oceanographic conditions around Lizard Island.
• Validating regional climate models using in-situ atmospheric observations from the Great Barrier Reef.
• Analyzing long-term atmospheric trends from a remote marine observing system.

Strengths

• Data originates from the established Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS).
• Part of the long-term Great Barrier Reef Ocean Observing System (GBROOS) project.
• Last updated on 2026-06-27, indicating recent maintenance.

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 geographic bias inherent to a single sensor location at Lizard Island.
