One Tree Island Light Data From 2010 To 2020

Light data from the Great Barrier Reef Wireless Sensor Network, part of the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS). The dataset covers a time range from 16 March 2010 to 28 September 2020 and was collected by the Wireless Sensor Networks Facility (formerly FAIMMS).

Use Cases

• Modeling coral reef health based on photosynthetic radiation levels.
• Analyzing long-term light trends in a marine protected area.
• Correlating light data with other oceanographic observations from the Great Barrier Reef Ocean Observing System.
• Studying seasonal and interannual variability in downwelling radiation.

Strengths

• Data spans over a decade, from March 2010 to September 2020.
• Collected by a dedicated national observing system (IMOS) facility.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
