WAMSI Node 3.1.6 - Physical oceanography of the Ningaloo Marine Park

From April to May 2006, the AIMS Research Vessel Cape Ferguson, measured key hydrodynamic variables at 25 sites spanning the lagoonal waters to the front reef slopes of Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia. Currents, waves, temperature and water level were measured using different observational arrays including wave gauges, single point current meters, current profilers and bottom mounted temperature loggers.

2006年4月至5月，澳大利亚海洋科学研究所（Australian Institute of Marine Science, AIMS）的“开普·弗格森号”（Cape Ferguson）研究船，在澳大利亚西部宁格鲁礁（Ningaloo Reef）横跨潟湖水域至前缘礁坡的25个测点开展关键水动力变量观测。本次观测采用多类观测阵列，包括波高计（wave gauges）、单点海流计（single point current meters）、海流剖面仪（current profilers）以及坐底式温度记录仪（bottom mounted temperature loggers），对海流、波浪、水温与水位进行了测量。
