Temperature logger data collected from the waters around North Keppel Island in the Great Barrier Reef. The dataset was collected by the Australian Ocean Data Network and covers a time range from 07 December 1995 to 21 April 2025. The data was last updated on the platform in June 2026.
Use Cases
- Modeling thermal stress events on coral reefs based on the long-term temperature time series.
- Analyzing seasonal and inter-annual temperature variability in a Great Barrier Reef lagoon.
- Calibrating satellite-derived sea surface temperature products with in-situ logger data from North Keppel Island.
Strengths
- Covers a long temporal range of approximately 30 years, from 1995 to 2025.
- Data is sourced from a specific, ecologically significant location within 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.
