Brief description
From 1990, continuous (15-minute, 30-minute or hourly) logging of water temperature was conducted at these puerulus (Panulirus cygnus) collector sites: Quobba Pt, Shark Bay South Passage, Port Gregory Rat Island, Dongara - 7 Mile Beach, Green Head (offshore), Jurien, Lancelin, Alkimos, Marmion Lagoon, Warnbro Sound, Cape Mentelle. Detailed locations are available for download. Annual Excel spreadsheets are created containing the hourly data for all the sites, with monthly statistics at the end of the file.Lineage
Maintenance and Update Frequency: continual
Statement: a) 1990 to 1994: Wesdata models 886, 187, 389; nominal accuracy +/- 0.1 degrees Celsius. The loggers were generally calibrated in the laboratory and a calibration line was computed by the Wesdata software package. In addition, in situ water temperatures were measured with a calibrated thermometer at times of deployment and recovery and (generally small) adjustments were made to the recorded temperatures as required (details in Pearce et al. report 1999).
b) 1995 to 2000: Dataflow loggers; these record as binary files and we have not yet been able to get the data converted to text format due to problems with the Dataflow software. This is being followed up.
c) 2000 to present: TidBit 2001 to present.
