One Tree Island Depth Measurements from 2010 to 2020

From 16 March 2010 to 18 September 2020, depth data was collected at One Tree Island by the Great Barrier Reef Wireless Sensor Network. This facility is part of the Great Barrier Reef Ocean Observing System (GBROOS) and the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS). The data is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Modeling tidal and sea-level changes based on the long-term depth time series.
• Analyzing reef health and habitat zonation based on depth variations.
• Calibrating satellite-derived bathymetry models with in-situ sensor data.
• Studying the impact of weather events on reef topography using the temporal depth record.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific 10-year period from 2010 to 2020.
• Collected by an established national observing system (IMOS/GBROOS).
• Focuses on a named, specific location (One Tree Island in the Great Barrier Reef).

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.
