Information on fixed-site ocean temperature data (sampling < 3h) within Waikato region

RC made this Official Information request to Waikato Regional Council

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for RC to read recent responses and update the status.

From: RC

I am a Master of Science student in Marine Science. I am seeking information on whether Waikato Regional Council holds any fixed-site water temperature data collected within the coastal waters or estuaries of the Waikato region from sensors such as moorings, buoys, seafloor instruments, wharf sensors or other loggers.

In particular, I would like to know:

- Sampling frequency: For any datasets you hold, what is the sampling interval (preferably less than three hours) and over what period were the data collected?
- Geographic coverage: For any datasets you hold, what are the approximate locations or site names (e.g., harbours, rivers, coastal areas) and the general type of installation?

I do not require the data itself at this stage; I am simply requesting confirmation of whether such data are held and summary metadata describing the sampling frequency and geographic coverage.
