Wave and current dynamics near outer continental shelf reefs in Western Australia - CTD data

An oceanographic pilot study was carried out at Scott Reef to investigate the behaviour of surface and internal waves in the vicinity of an isolated coral reef. Oceanographic instruments deployed included 4 pressure gauges on the reef edge and 2 current meter arrays extending across the reef slope. 64% of possible data was recovered from the 25 instruments deployed. 4 instruments were lost or stolen, 2 instruments leaked and 3 instruments did not perform to specifications. CTD data was also collected.

本研究于斯科特暗礁（Scott Reef）开展了一项海洋学先导性研究，旨在探究孤立珊瑚礁周边的表层波与内波行为特征。本次部署的海洋观测仪器涵盖礁缘布设的4台压力计、横跨礁坡的2组海流计阵列等设备，总计25台，最终从这批仪器中共回收了64%的预期可获取数据。期间共有4台仪器遗失或被盗、2台仪器发生进水泄漏，另有3台仪器未达到既定性能指标要求。此外，本研究还采集了温盐深仪（CTD）观测数据。
