Decadal warming rates of sea surface temperature for 58 Australian Marine Parks over a 25-year period from 1992 to 2016. The data is derived from the Sea Surface Temperature Atlas of the Australian Regional Seas (SSTAARS) and supported by the National Environmental Science Program (NESP) Marine Biodiversity Hub.
Use Cases
- Calculate decadal warming trends for specific marine parks based on the 'trend_d' field
- Assess climate change impacts on Australian marine biodiversity based on sea surface temperature trends
- Compare warming rates across different marine park regions over the 25-year period
- Validate or supplement climate models with observed SST trend data from the SSTAARS source
Strengths
- Covers a 25-year time series from 1992 to 2016
- Includes data for 58 distinct Australian Marine Parks
- Derived from a specific, named source dataset (SSTAARS)
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
