Abstract

Weekly temperature measurements have been taken over a 55-month period at a 10 m deep station in Cleveland Bay. Temperature at the surface ranged from 19.3 to 30.9ºC with a mean monthly minimum of 20.9ºC in July and a mean monthly maximum of 29.0°C in January. The water-temperature curve lagged behind the 0900 h air-temperature curve by an average of 10 days. Differences between the present data and other published temperature data for Great Barrier Reef waters are discussed.
