Ocean Radar - Rottnest shelf site - Wind - Delayed mode

The Rottnest Shelf (ROT) HF ocean radar system covers an area which includes Rottnest Island and the Perth Canyon to the north-west. The Perth Canyon has the highest marine biodiversity in the region with whale and fish aggregations, and high primary and secondary productions which are controlled by the physical oceanographic processes. Combined with the dynamics of the Perth Canyon is the dominant Leeuwin Current which produces a wake on the leeward side of Rottnest Island. This is a topographically induced up-welling and associated primary and secondary productivity. The region is influ...

罗特内斯特陆架（Rottnest Shelf，ROT）高频海洋雷达系统（HF ocean radar system）覆盖的区域包括罗特内斯特岛及西北部的珀斯海沟。珀斯海沟是该区域海洋生物多样性最高的区域，有鲸鱼和鱼类聚集，其高初级和次级生产力受物理海洋学过程调控。与珀斯海沟的动力学特征相结合的是主导性的利尤温洋流（Leeuwin Current），它在罗特内斯特岛的背风侧形成尾流。这是一种由地形诱导的上升流，以及与之相关的初级和次级生产力。该区域受...
