Sea Water Temperature Logger Data at Cattle Bay, Great Barrier Reef from 1993 to 2025

Temperature logger data collected from the Cattle Bay site on the Great Barrier Reef. The dataset was gathered by the Australian Ocean Data Network and covers a long-term period from 11 February 1993 to 13 December 2025. It was last updated on the platform in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling long-term sea temperature trends based on the 32-year monitoring period mentioned in the title
• Analyzing thermal stress on coral reefs based on data collected from the Great Barrier Reef location
• Calibrating or validating satellite-derived sea surface temperature products based on in-situ logger data

Strengths

• Covers a substantial 32-year time range from 1993 to 2025
• Data originates from a specific, ecologically significant location (Cattle Bay, Great Barrier Reef)
• Managed by an authoritative organization, the Australian Ocean Data Network

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Available file formats (PNG, HTML) suggest the primary data may not be in a standard tabular format, potentially requiring extraction
