Brief description
This dataset contains meteorological and sea temperature data collected from the weather station, which was moored on John Brewer Reef on the Great Barrier Reef for the period from 31 July 1987 to 30 May 1988. The system used automatic relaying of data in "real time" mode. \n \nData Recorded: Sea Temperature, Sea Surface Temperature, Atmospheric Pressure, Air Temperature, Solar Radiation, Wind Direction True, Wind Speed True.\n These data are collected to support scientific research at AIMS. Data are made available on request to other researchers and to the public.\n The weather station was an AIMS Mk2 System.\nNotes

Statement: The weather sensors used were: \nWind Run: Didcot 3 cup anemometer with magnetic reed switch contact (324 contacts/km wind run). \nWind Direction: Aanderaa Model 2053 Oil damped, 360° solenoid clamped, potentiometer. \nAir temperature: OMEGA 0-90-UUA-35J3 5K thermistor housed in radiation screen \nBarometric Pressure: Aanderaa Model 2810 Monolithic sensing element (temperature stabilised) housed in main equipment enclosure. \nSolar Radiation: Licor Model L1-I92SB Underwater Quantum sensor \n \nAccuracies quoted below are the sum of calibration, sensor change, drift with time, and an ambient \ntemperature range of 0-40°C. \nTemperature: ± 0.3°C. \nWater temp: 30 minutes settling time. \nSolar radiation: 5 % of reading. \nBarometric pressure: ± 1 hecto pascal. \nWind speed 2% of reading. \nWind direction 2% of reading. \nSettling time for solar radiation and wind parameters was 30 seconds (anti aliasing filters). \nModified: 20200629
Data time period: 1987-07-31 to 1988-05-30
