One Tree Island Air Temperature Time Series 2008-2021

Air temperature data collected from the Great Barrier Reef Wireless Sensor Network at One Tree Island from 18 November 2008 to 11 June 2021. The dataset is part of the Integrated Marine Observing System's Great Barrier Reef Ocean Observing System project. It was contributed by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Analyze long-term air temperature trends for climate change research on the Great Barrier Reef.
• Correlate air temperature time series with other marine monitoring datasets using the common temporal coverage.
• Validate or calibrate regional climate models using sensor network data from a specific reef location.

Strengths

• Provides over 12 years of continuous temporal coverage from 2008 to 2021.
• Data originates from the authoritative Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Focuses on a specific, ecologically significant location within the Great Barrier Reef.

Limitations

• The underlying data structure, including column names and row count, is not specified.
• Available file formats (PNG, HTML) suggest the primary data may be embedded in reports or images, not raw tabular files.
• The license is listed as 'notspecified', which may create uncertainty for reuse.
