GBRCCH: Capricorn Channel Shelf Mooring component of the GBR Mooring Array
Swains Moorings - Southern GBRThe outer mooring is in deep water eastward of the main reef complex near Elusive Reef (GBRELR), the inner one is located in the Capricorn Channel (GBRCCH) where water that has travelled south through the GBR lagoon exits toward the southeast and has complex interactions with intrusions associated with the Capricorn Eddy, that is a recirculation of the East Australian Current.
The Mooring array 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.
