The physical oceanography of Bowling Green Bay, north Queensland: Station BG04

An Interocean S4 vector averaging current meter was deployed on a mooring at Station BG04. This was one of four current meters placed along the line joining Cape Cleveland and Cape Bowling Green to investigate the relationship between winds and boundary currents. This current meter was one of two current meters placed at either end of the bay to measure longshore flow through the end boundaries.Deployment Details:Instrument: S4 #631Instrument depth: 15mSampling interval: 30 minutesDate deployed: 20/10/1984Date recovered: 18/03/1985 This study was initiated to:1. gain an understanding of the circulation of water in Bowling Green Bay2. complement concurrent studies by AIMS scientists researching the ecology, nutrient regime and trophodynamics of the coastal boundary of the Great Barrier Reef lagoon.

本研究将Interocean S4型矢量平均海流计通过锚泊系统布设于BG04站位。该海流计是沿克利夫兰角（Cape Cleveland）与鲍林格林角（Cape Bowling Green）连线布设的4台海流计之一，旨在探究风场与边界流之间的关联；同时它也是布设于海湾两端的2台海流计之一，用于测量经由海湾末端边界的沿岸流。

本研究旨在达成以下目标：
1. 明晰鲍林格林湾（Bowling Green Bay）内的水体环流特征
2. 补充澳大利亚海洋科学研究所（Australian Institute of Marine Science, AIMS）科学家针对大堡礁泻湖海岸边界开展的生态、营养盐状况及营养动力学同步研究。
