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.

一台Interocean S4型矢量平均海流计（Interocean S4 vector averaging current meter）被布设于BG04站位的锚系之上。该海流计是沿克利夫兰角（Cape Cleveland）与鲍林格林角（Cape Bowling Green）连线布设的四台海流计之一，用于探究风场与边界流之间的关联；同时它也是布放在海湾两端以测量沿岸流穿越末端边界的两台海流计之一。
