Sea Water Temperature Logger Data at Coconut Beach Reef, 1996-2011

From 20 July 1996 to 01 October 2011, temperature loggers collected sea water data at the Coconut Beach Reef site on the Great Barrier Reef. The data set was aggregated by the Australian Ocean Data Network. The specific instrumentation and sampling frequency are not detailed in the provided metadata.

Use Cases

• Modeling thermal stress events on coral reefs based on the described temperature time series.
• Analyzing long-term ocean warming trends in a specific reef location based on the 15-year monitoring period.
• Calibrating satellite-derived sea surface temperature products with in-situ logger data from the described deployment.

Strengths

• Data collection spans over 15 years, from July 1996 to October 2011.
• Records originate from a specific, named location (Coconut Beach Reef) on the Great Barrier Reef.

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.
