IMOS - East Australian Current (EAC) Deep Water moorings array - Quality Control Report: April 2012 to August 2013

The East Australian Current (EAC) is a complex and highly energetic western boundary system in the south-western Pacific off eastern Australia. It provides both the western boundary of the South Pacific gyre and the linking element between the Pacific and the Indian Ocean gyres. The EAC deepwater moorings consisted of an array of full-depth current meter and property (CTD) moorings from the continental slope to the abyssal water off Brisbane (26oS).

This report details the quality control applied to the data collected from the EAC array (deployed from April, 2012 to August, 2013). The quality controlled datasets are publicly available via the AODN Portal. The data should be used in conjunction with this report.

东澳大利亚洋流（East Australian Current, EAC）是澳大利亚东部近海西南太平洋海域中一套结构复杂、能量极强的西边界流系统。它既是南太平洋环流的西边界，亦是连接太平洋与印度洋环流的核心纽带。本次研究涉及的东澳流深水锚系阵列，由布里斯班外海（南纬26°）区域内，从大陆坡延伸至深渊水层的全海流计与温盐深仪（CTD）锚系组成。

本报告详述了针对2012年4月至2013年8月部署的该东澳流阵列采集数据所实施的质量控制流程。经质量控制后的数据集可通过澳大利亚海洋数据网络门户（AODN Portal）公开获取。使用该数据集时，应配合本报告一同使用。
