One Tree Island Light Sensor Data From 2010 To 2020

The 'Wireless Sensor Networks Facility' (formerly FAIMMS), part of the Great Barrier Reef Ocean Observing System project (GBROOS), is a facility of the Australian 'Integrated Marine Observing System' (IMOS). This data set was collected by the Great Barrier Reef Wireless Sensor Network. The dataset covers the period from 16 March 2010 to 28 September 2020.

Use Cases

• Analyze long-term light availability trends in a coral reef environment based on sensor network data.
• Model coral reef ecosystem health in relation to environmental light levels based on the described monitoring system.
• Study temporal patterns of marine environmental parameters from the described wireless sensor network facility.

Strengths

• Data collection spans over a decade, from 16 March 2010 to 28 September 2020.
• Data originates from the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS), a national Australian project.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
