This dataset compiles field observations collected as part of CSIRO’s Tidal Inundation project, 2024-2025. The field campaign deployed oceanographic and tide level sensors in two Queensland estuaries: the Fitzroy Estuary and Cassady Creek (Hinchinbrook Shire). Additional project information, deployment details, site maps and quality control notes are provided in the data_summary pdf and time_series_summary spreadsheets. Geophysical survey data collected during this study, including multibeam sonar bathymetry and aerial LiDAR surveys, are not included in this dataset but are available in a separate data collection associated with the Tidal Inundation project (see related links below). Periodic field trips were undertaken during the 12-month study to scout, deploy, maintain and retrieve instrumentation at several fixed stations. Instrumentation consisted of tide level sensors, acoustic doppler current profilers (ADCPs), and wave monitoring buoys with pressure and temperature sensors. Additionally, 38 discrete samples of surface sediments were collected by manual grabs to quantify grain size throughout the Fitzroy Estuary and its distributary (Casuarina Creek). This data collection includes brief quality control reports prepared after retrieval of each ADCP, with additional QC notes included in the data summary document. Data in this repository are grouped by instrument type and location. All timestamps are in local time (GMT +10), unless otherwise noted.
