This page shows the daily minimum, maximum and temperature range on the Great Barrier Reef based on the 4km eReefs Hydrodynamic model. This is an experimental product that is intended to help investigate whether daily temperature range is a useful indicator of resistence to coral bleaching.

Source data

The videos/images on this page are based on the 4km eReefs Hydrodynamic model (v2.0) of the Great Barrier Reef. The raw data is available from NCI THREDDS server (hourly) and the aggregate data from the AIMS eAtlas THREDDS server (daily, monthly, yearly, all). These map layers are also available for inspection as an interactive map.

Recent data

The results are updated in near-real-time, however sometimes they can be behind real time up to 2 weeks. This happens due to delays in the model runs being held up for technical reasons or delays in source data that drive the model. This visualisation portal can sometimes also delay the products by up to 1 day. To check the latest available model data look at the date on the NCI THREDDS server. If the model data is more up to date than this portal let us know.

These pages can show a combination of videos and images dependent on the underlying data. Make a selection via the tabs in the "Time step" panel at the top of the visualisation. The content type (video or image) is identified by the icon in the corresponding tab.

The interactive map below the visualisation (left) allows for zooming in on a particular region, or all of Queensland. Where applicable, the interactive map is accompanied with a list of the regions for clarity.

The calendar below the visualisation (right) selects the data range of the visualisation. Individual months and/or entire years can be selected when supported by the underlying data.
