Sea surface temperature time series from Ballycotton, Ireland

Sarah Daves, Guy Westbrook, Glenn Nolan, Rob Thomas, and Eoghan Daly

Abstract. An ongoing and maturing Sea Surface Temperature time-series from Ballycotton in the south of Ireland has been created from deployments of high precision and accuracy sensors and made openly available for download. There is data at the location starting in 2010, with mostly-continuous data since 2016. A data managed process flow, quality control routine and metadata documentation are in place for this sea surface temperature dataset. Alongside this time series is a co-located tide gauge which together allow for a more comprehensive study of the coastal area and the changes occurring there overtime. The sea surface temperature time series is made available through the Marine Institute’s ERDDAP server and has been assigned a citation and DOI (https://doi.org/10.20393/A7545AB4-3F9B-4CF5-97D7-98784B9B8D8C; Marine Institute, 2025a).

Short summary
This paper presents an ongoing sea surface temperature dataset located at Ballycotton in the south of Ireland. The time series has been developed from deployments of high precision and accuracy sensors, with data beginning in 2010 and being mostly continuous from 2016. The work provides context to the development of the dataset and potential uses for the data. Preliminary warming analysis using this dataset shows an annual warming of 0.064 °C at the location throughout the time series.
