Yongala Albedo Measurements From October 2010 To September 2014

From 30 October 2010 to 02 September 2014, albedo data was collected at the Yongala site by the Australian National Moorings Network (ANMN). This sub-facility of the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) operates under the Australian Ocean Data Network. The dataset was last updated on the platform in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal trends in ocean surface albedo based on the multi-year time series.
• Modeling light reflection properties of the marine environment based on albedo measurements.
• Correlating albedo data with other oceanic or atmospheric parameters collected by the mooring network.
• Studying seasonal and interannual variability in coastal waters based on the four-year coverage.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific four-year period from October 2010 to September 2014.
• Collected by a national reference mooring system (NRS) as part of a structured observing network (IMOS).
• Platform metadata indicates a recent administrative update in April 2026.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and data volume are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
