Evans Head Coastal Station Data 1952-1969

Created 25/06/2025

Updated 25/06/2025

This dataset contains oceanographic data collected at a coastal station off Evans Head, New South Wales (lat. 29 deg. 08 min. S, long. 153 deg. 38 min. E) between November 1952 and June 1969. Data were not collected for the period 1960-1965. The stations were set up under the CSIRO coastal monitoring programme in the 1950s and were sampled approximately monthly for temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, phosphate and nitrate. The data are stored on-line as part of the CMR hydrology archive in Hobart. Additional copies of the data are deposited with the NODC data archive (World Data Centre-A) in the U.S.A., and details of relevant data files can be viewed via their website by requesting the file inventory for this coastal station which is NODC platform code "09E2". Station details, plus printed versions of the data to 1960, have been published in CSIRO's "Oceanographical Station List" series.
