Sea Water Temperature Logger Data at Rib Reef, Great Barrier Reef (2013-2026)

Temperature logger data collected by the Australian Ocean Data Network at Rib Reef on the Great Barrier Reef. The dataset covers a time range from 03 June 2013 to 26 April 2026. It was last updated on the platform on 04 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.
• Calibrating or validating satellite-derived sea surface temperature products with in-situ logger data.
• Studying the impact of marine heatwaves on a specific reef site.

Strengths

• Covers a substantial time period of nearly 13 years (2013-2026).
• Data is site-specific to Rib Reef, a location on the Great Barrier Reef.
• Last updated on the platform in June 2026, suggesting recent maintenance.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic and temporal bias inherent to a single logger deployment.
