Torres Strait Temperature Logger deployed site locations and retrieved data (NERP TE 2.3, AIMS)

As part of the NERP TE project 2.3 temperature loggers were deployed at 15 sites across Torres Strait to measure the sea temperature. The loggers regularly measure the sea water temperature and record it in their memory. Every year or so the loggers are swapped with new loggers and the recorded data is extracted and recorded in the AIMS Real Time Data Systems database as part of the Australia wide Sea Temperature Observing System.

While these loggers do not provide real time data, they provide a vital historical record of conditions across Torres Strait allowing researchers to better understand potential temperature thresholds that might cause coral bleaching and to calibrate satellite measurements of sea temperature.

At each site loggers were placed at two depths and were located close to islands or cays to facilitate easy maintenance and replacement. This dataset contains the locations of loggers that may not have been recollected from the field yet.

Logger data access:

The data from the retrieved data loggers can be accessed by following the link to the "Logger metadata and data tool" associated with each island. These pages can also be accessed via the interactive map showing the retrieved data. Each site on this map contains a link to the associated metadata and data access for that site.

Format:

1 shapefile, 2 interactive maps.

作为NERP TE项目2.3的组成部分，研究团队在托雷斯海峡范围内的15个站点部署了温度记录仪（temperature loggers），用于开展海水温度监测。此类记录仪会定时采集海水温度数据，并将数据存储至内置存储器中。每间隔约一年，研究人员会将旧记录仪更换为新设备，并将提取的历史数据录入澳大利亚海洋科学研究所（AIMS）实时数据系统数据库，该数据库作为澳大利亚全国海水温度观测系统的组成部分运行。

尽管此类记录仪无法提供实时监测数据，但它们为托雷斯海峡全域的海洋环境留存了至关重要的历史观测记录，可为研究人员探究引发珊瑚白化的临界温度阈值提供支撑，同时可用于校准卫星海水温度遥感反演结果。

每个站点的记录仪均布设为两个水深层级，且选址靠近岛屿或珊瑚礁沙洲，以便于后续的维护与更换作业。本数据集收录了尚未完成野外回收的温度记录仪布设点位信息。

记录仪数据获取途径：
已回收的温度记录仪监测数据，可通过访问对应岛屿配套的"记录仪元数据与数据工具"页面获取。用户也可通过展示已回收数据的交互式地图访问上述页面；该交互式地图上的每个站点均配有专属链接，可跳转至对应站点的元数据与数据获取页面。

数据格式：
1份形状文件（shapefile）与2张交互式地图。
其中1份形状文件（shapefile）配套的交互式地图，用于展示托雷斯海峡温度记录仪的布设站点；配套数据中包含指向PDF文件的链接，可查看记录仪及其布设位置的详细信息。
另一张交互式地图，则用于获取托雷斯海峡温度记录仪的已回收监测数据。
