Australian Ocean Data Network collected this sea water temperature dataset from loggers deployed at Michaelmas Reef. The data covers a time range from 25 February 2015 to 21 January 2021. The dataset is hosted on the data.gov.au platform and was last updated in June 2026.
Use Cases
- Modeling coral bleaching risk based on long-term temperature time series.
- Analyzing seasonal and inter-annual ocean temperature variability at a reef site.
- Calibrating satellite-derived sea surface temperature products with in-situ logger data.
Strengths
- Data collection spans over five years, from 25 February 2015 to 21 January 2021.
- Data originates from a specific, named monitoring site: Michaelmas Reef.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
