Sea Water Temperature Logger Data at Arlington Reef, Great Barrier Reef (1996-2024)

Temperature logger data collected from the Arlington Reef site within the Great Barrier Reef. The data collection period spans from 27 March 1996 to 27 February 2024. The data set was collected by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Analyzing long-term sea temperature trends based on the 28-year time series
• Modeling coral bleaching risk based on temperature data from a specific reef site
• Calibrating satellite-derived sea surface temperature products based on in-situ logger data
• Studying the impact of climate change on reef ecosystems based on continuous environmental monitoring

Strengths

• Data collection spans a 28-year period from 1996 to 2024, providing a long-term record.
• Data is sourced from a specific, named location (Arlington Reef) within a globally significant ecosystem.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Freshness should be verified as the last metadata update was 2026-06-23.
