South Australian Upwelling Current Meter (Mooring) Data 1989

Created 25/06/2025

Updated 25/06/2025

This dataset comprises the current meter data collected from a study of the South Australian Upwelling during January-February 1989. The moorings were deployed at sites to the north-west of the upwelling zone, offshore from Robe, South Australia, as indicators of shelf waves entering the region. There are 2 moorings with 2 current meters represented in this dataset. Parameters typically recorded in current meter data comprise east-west and north-south velocity components, water temperature, pressure, and salinity at a nominal depth for each current meter. The data have been processed and are archived as part of the holdings of the CMR Data Centre in Hobart.
