Sea Surface Temperature Warming Rates in Australian Marine Parks

Created 23/06/2025

Updated 23/06/2025

This dataset measures the overall warming rates of the sea surface temperature (SST) in 58 Australian Marine Parks (except the Heard Island and McDonald Islands Marine Park) over the past 15 years (2003 to 2017). They are derived from the monthly MODIS (aqua) SST images. The fields of "slope_y" and "slope_m" represent the annual and monthly SST warming rates, respectively. The units of the warming rates are Celsius degree/per annual and Celsius degree/per month. This research is supported by the National Environmental Science Program (NESP) Marine Biodiversity Hub through Project D1.
