Sea Water Temperature Logger Data at Myrmidon Reef, Great Barrier Reef

Temperature loggers deployed at Myrmidon Reef collected this marine science data set. The Australian Ocean Data Network provides records spanning over three decades, from April 1995 to April 2026. This long-term monitoring supports research on coral reef ecosystems.

Use Cases

• Analyze long-term sea temperature trends based on the 31-year time series.
• Model coral bleaching risk and thermal stress events based on temperature logger data.
• Validate satellite-derived sea surface temperature products based on in-situ logger measurements.
• Study climate change impacts on the Great Barrier Reef based on localized temperature records.

Strengths

• Data collection spans over 31 years, from April 1995 to April 2026.
• Records are from a specific, named reef site (Myrmidon Reef) within the Great Barrier Reef.
• The dataset was last updated in June 2026, suggesting ongoing maintenance.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
