Sea Water Temperature Logger Data at Lady Elliot Reef, 2006-2026

From 23 August 2006 to 07 May 2026, temperature loggers collected sea water data at Lady Elliot Reef on the Great Barrier Reef. The dataset is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on 4 June 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling coral bleaching risk based on long-term temperature time series.
• Analyzing seasonal and inter-annual temperature variability in a reef environment.
• Validating satellite-derived sea surface temperature products with in-situ logger data.

Strengths

• Covers a substantial time range of nearly 20 years, from 2006 to 2026.
• Data is sourced from a specific, ecologically significant location 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 for specific modeling tasks.
