Physical Oceanography of Karmt Shoals, Timor Sea (2004): Karmt 50 Mooring

A current meter and 4 temperature and pressure recorders were attached to the Karmt 50 mooring for both deployments.Deployment 1:Date Deployed: 22/01/2004Date Recovered: 01/04/2004Instruments Deployed on Mooring:Depth: 5m; Instrument: SBE39; Serial #: 0920; Sensors: TemperatureDepth: 10m; Instrument: SBE39; Serial #: 0759; Sensors: Temperature, pressureDepth: 25m; Instrument: Nortek Aquadopp; Serial #: 880; Sensors: Velocity, temperature, pressureDepth: 35m; Instrument: SBE39; Serial #: 0930; Sensors: TemperatureDepth: 45m; Instrument: SBE39; Serial #: 0926; Sensors: TemperatureDeployment 2:Date Deployed: 02/04/2004Date Recovered: 04/12/2004Instruments Deployed on Mooring:Depth: 5m; Instrument: SBE39; Serial #: 0920; Sensors: TemperatureDepth: 10m; Instrument: SBE39; Serial #: 0917; Sensors: TemperatureDepth: 25m; Instrument: Nortek Aquadopp; Serial #: 880; Sensors: Velocity, temperature, pressureDepth: 35m; Instrument: SBE39; Serial #: 0930; Sensors: TemperatureDepth: 45m; Instrument: SBE39; Serial #: 0926; Sensors: Temperature
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.
