Sea Water Temperature Logger Data at Raine Island, Great Barrier Reef (1995-2019)

From 10 December 1995 to 04 December 2019, temperature loggers deployed around Raine Island collected this sea water data. The dataset is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on the platform in 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze long-term sea temperature trends based on the 24-year collection period mentioned in the description
• Model coral reef thermal stress and bleaching events based on recorded temperature data
• Validate satellite-derived sea surface temperature products based on in-situ logger measurements

Strengths

• Data collection spans a 24-year period from 1995 to 2019.
• Focuses on a specific, ecologically significant location at Raine Island 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.
• Freshness should be verified; the last platform update was 2026-06-05, but the data itself ends in 2019.
