Data between 4/Jun/2013 and 3/Oct/2013 was reprocessed in May 2018 to correct a calibration error. The maximum difference between the currently available and previously available data is 0.71 Degrees Celsius.

Data between 2/Sep/2011 and 6/Feb/2012 was reprocessed in May 2018 to correct a calibration error. The maximum difference between the currently available and previously available data is 0.43 Degrees Celsius.

Between 1992 and ~2006, the logger model '392' manufactured by Dataflow Systems Pty Ltd, Christchurch, New Zealand was used. From 2004 to present 'Odyssey' loggers from the same manufacturer have also been deployed. Since late 2008 Sensus Ultra loggers (produced by ReefNet Inc., Canada) have also been deployed. Since 2012 HOBO Water Temp Pro V2 loggers have been deployed. Since 2014 VEMCO Minilog-II-T loggers have been deployed.
