Hydrodynamic and sediment observations in Fitzroy Estuary QLD and Cassady Creek (Hinchinbrook, QLD) 2024-2025: CSIRO Tidal Inundation project

This dataset compiles field observations collected as part of CSIRO’s Tidal Inundation project, 2024-2025. The field campaign deployed oceanographic and tide level sensors in two Queensland estuaries: the Fitzroy Estuary and Cassady Creek (Hinchinbrook Shire). Additional project information, deployment details, site maps and quality control notes are provided in the data_summary pdf and time_series_summary spreadsheets.

Geophysical survey data collected during this study, including multibeam sonar bathymetry and aerial LiDAR surveys, are not included in this dataset but are available in a separate data collection associated with the Tidal Inundation project (see related links below).

Periodic field trips were undertaken during the 12-month study to scout, deploy, maintain and retrieve instrumentation at several fixed stations. Instrumentation consisted of tide level sensors, acoustic doppler current profilers (ADCPs), and wave monitoring buoys with pressure and temperature sensors. Additionally, 38 discrete samples of surface sediments were collected by manual grabs to quantify grain size throughout the Fitzroy Estuary and its distributary (Casuarina Creek).

This data collection includes brief quality control reports prepared after retrieval of each ADCP, with additional QC notes included in the data summary document. Data in this repository are grouped by instrument type and location. All timestamps are in local time (GMT +10), unless otherwise noted.

本数据集汇编了澳大利亚联邦科学与工业研究组织（CSIRO）2024-2025年潮汐淹没项目所收集的野外观测数据。野外作业团队在昆士兰州的两个河口部署了海洋学与潮位传感器：菲茨罗伊河口（Fitzroy Estuary）与卡西迪溪（Cassady Creek，欣钦布鲁克郡（Hinchinbrook Shire））。项目相关的更多信息、传感器部署细节、站点地图与质量控制说明，均收录于data_summary pdf文档与time_series_summary spreadsheets中。

本研究采集的地球物理勘测数据（包括多波束测深声呐数据与机载激光雷达（LiDAR）勘测数据）未包含于本数据集，可通过本潮汐淹没项目关联的独立数据集获取（详见下文相关链接）。

在为期12个月的研究周期内，研究团队开展了多次野外巡测，在多个固定站点完成仪器的踏勘、部署、维护与回收工作。所用仪器包括潮位传感器、声学多普勒流速剖面仪（ADCPs）以及搭载压力与温度传感器的波浪监测浮标。此外，研究团队通过手动抓斗采集了38份表层沉积物离散样本，以量化菲茨罗伊河口及其分流河道木麻黄溪（Casuarina Creek）的沉积物粒度分布。

本数据集包含每次回收声学多普勒流速剖面仪后编制的简要质量控制报告，数据汇总文档中亦收录了额外的质量控制说明。本数据仓库内的数据按仪器类型与采集地点进行分组。所有时间戳均采用当地时间（GMT+10），除非另有标注。
