Lizard Island Depth Data from Great Barrier Reef Sensor Network

Data collected on 24 February 2012 by the Great Barrier Reef Wireless Sensor Network, part of the Wireless Sensor Networks Facility. The facility is a component of the Great Barrier Reef Ocean Observing System (GBROOS) and the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS). The data set is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Modeling coastal bathymetry based on depth measurements from the sensor network.
• Analyzing temporal changes in reef environments based on data from the ocean observing system.
• Calibrating remote sensing data with in-situ depth observations from the Great Barrier Reef.

Strengths

• Data originates from the established Great Barrier Reef Ocean Observing System (GBROOS) project.
• Associated with the national Australian Integrated Marine 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.
• Freshness should be verified; the last metadata update was 2026-06-05.
