eReefs GBR1 hydrodynamics v2.0

Created 05/03/2026

Updated 05/03/2026

Results from version 2.0 of the 1km-resolution shelf-scale hydrodynamic model of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR1). This model is nested within version 2.0 of the 4km-resolution hydrodynamic model (GBR4) data at the ocean boundaries, used the Bureau of Meteorology ACCESS-R model for surface atmospheric data and incorporated measured flow data from gauging stations at the river boundaries from QLD DNRM.

This model configuration and associated results dataset may be referred to as "GBR1_H2p0" according to the eReefs simulation naming protocol.

The model ran in near-real-time mode, updating daily, until January 2024 when the 2023/24 monsoon season caused damage to sensors in the catchments, and we lost access to the critical river-flow forcing dataset.
