Physical Oceanography of Karmt Shoals, Timor Sea (2004): CTD Profiles

In April and December 2004, CTD casts were made at both the Karmt 50 and Karmt 100 moorings. This study was undertaken to investigate the distribution of shelf edge upwelling phenomena, a potentially significant attribute of the Oceanic Shoals bioregion. This study was a component of the project "Biodiversity and the factors controlling it, for selected habitats in the Timor Sea region", which seeks to integrate data from biodiversity surveys, chemistry, oceanography and geology to understand the processes that sustain the biota of the region.
