Australian Ocean Data Network collected temperature logger data at Hardy Reef on the Great Barrier Reef. The data collection period spans from 13 June 2002 to 20 November 2002. The dataset was last updated on 16 June 2026.
Use Cases
- Analyze thermal stress events on coral reefs based on in-situ temperature logger data.
- Model local sea temperature variability based on time-series data from a specific reef site.
- Calibrate satellite-derived sea surface temperature products based on point measurements.
- Study the relationship between water temperature and coral bleaching events based on data from a known reef location.
Strengths
- Data collection period is precisely defined from 13 June 2002 to 20 November 2002.
- Data originates from a specific, named location: Hardy Reef on the Great Barrier Reef.
- Data is managed by an authoritative organization, the Australian Ocean Data Network.
Limitations
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
