A 6m steel self supporting pole was erected on the north/west side of Orpehus Island in the channel between Pelorus Island and Orpheus Island but positioned to face more towards the ocean and just on teh entrance to the channel.RP3 on the seaward side of Orpheus Island is set up the same as RP1 and RP2 although as of early 2010 only the two MEA thermistors at 50 and 100m are installed, the SBE37 and SBE39 wil be instaled later in 2010. A vaisala WTX520 weather station is installed on this pole. The project looks to deploy sensor networks at seven sites along the Great Barrier Reef to measure a range of physical parameters at a range of scales. The project will install communications, data and platform infrastructure that will support future sensor work looking at biological and chemical parameters. The FAIMMS Project is part of the GBROOS or Great Barrier Reef Ocean Observing System project which in turn is part of the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System or IMOS.
