The data will support work being done in the bay by James Cook University researchers.The unit will be serviced every six months and will be used in the future for attaching new sets of sensors. The buoy is one of two buoys and three relay-poles being deployed on Orpheus Island as part of the GBROOS Project. The design looks to measure the impact of warm water pushing in from the Coral Sea onto the reef flat at the northen end of the island, through the channel to Pelorus Island and around onto the land side of the island. These events are linked to coral bleaching and other climate impacts.The buoys initially have a Campbell Scientific loggers powered off two 5W solar panels, a Garmin GPS unit and one thermistor located at the base of the buoy around 60cm below the water line. The buoys use a Campbell Scientific spread-spectrum radio to talk back to the base station located on Orpheus Island.
