As part of the Strategic Research Fund for the Marine Environment (SRFME), a marine research project jointly supported by CSIRO and the WA State government, a set of moorings were deployed at three sites off Two Rocks, Western Australia during the period July 2004 to July 2005. The field program consisted of four separate deployments that were made during this period and the data collected included ocean currents, temperature, salinity, pressure (sea level). The sites were chosen to coincide with three sites where monthly biogeochemical measurements were being made. Being relatively close to shore the data will be limited in their application to describing features of the Leeuwin Current and the eddies, which are persistent features of the circulation off WA. Nevertheless they are complementing the biogeochemical data, and are providing the basis for conceptual physical models of the near shore circulation as well as vital observational data for the validation of numerical models.
