The physical oceanography of Bowling Green Bay, north Queensland: Station BG01

An Interocean S4 vector averaging current meter was deployed on a mooring at Station BG01. 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 #549Instrument depth: 15mSampling interval: 30 minutesDate deployed: 22/10/1984Date recovered: 17/03/1985 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型矢量平均测流仪（vector averaging current meter）布放于BG01站位的锚系观测系统上。该仪器是沿克利夫兰角（Cape Cleveland）与鲍灵格林角（Cape Bowling Green）连线布设的四台测流仪之一，旨在探究风场与边界流之间的关联。此台测流仪同时为布放在海湾两端、用于测量沿岸流穿越末端边界过程的两台测流仪之一。

本研究的发起目标如下：
1. 明晰鲍灵格林湾（Bowling Green Bay）内的水体环流特征
2. 补充AIMS科研人员同期开展的相关研究，后者聚焦大堡礁礁湖（Great Barrier Reef lagoon）海岸边界的生态系统、营养盐格局及营养动态。
