Baffle Creek 2021 (Current velocity and direction)
datastore ActiveURL: https://data.des.qld.gov.au/__data/assets/file/0023/264263/baffle-creek-current-2021.csv
This resource collects time series water physicochemical in-situ parameter readings, water (current) flow velocity and direction, Nitrogen and Carbon compounds and weather conditions every 10 minutes.
Equipment is housed in a large yellow floating buoy, anchored in position within the tidal zone at the Ferry Crossing approximately 16km from the mouth of Baffle Creek, between Gladstone and Bundaberg.
Lat: -24.50861, Lon: 151.9279, Datum: GDA
Water flow direction and velocity are collected at a depth of 1.0 meter below the surface via an Aanderra Doppler Current Sensors (DCS) Model 420 which operates on the backscatter acoustic doppler principle.
The sensor has built-in compass and tilt sensor.
Doppler parameters measured/collected are:
- ABSSpd-Avg
- AbsTilt-Avg
- Direction-Avg
- EastCur-Avg
- Heading-Avg
- LoggerBattV
- LoggerPanelTemp
- MaxTilt-Avg
- NorthCur-Avg
- PingCnt-Avg
- SigStrength-Avg
- SPstd-Avg
- StdTilt-Avg
- TiltX-Avg
- TiltY-Avg
A Gill MaxiMet weather station provides the following parameters:
- Gill-DewPoint-Avg
- Gill-Latitude
- Gill-Longitude
- Gill-Pressure
- Gill-Rain-mm-Tot
- Gill-RH
- Gill-SRad-Avg
- Gill-SunHours-Avg
- Gill-Temperature-Avg
- Gill-Time
- Gill-TotalDailyRain-mm
- Gill-TotalRain-mm
- Gill-Wd-StdDev
- Gill-WindSpd-Max
- Gill-Ws-Mean
A Trios "Opus" spectrophotometer with 10mm optical path, submerged at 1 meter below the surface, measures Nitrogen and Carbon compounds, such as:
- OPUS1-MeasureTime
- OPUS1000-N-NO3
- OPUS1004-CODeq
- OPUS1014-TOCeq
- OPUS1016-TSSeq
- OPUS1032-SAC254
- OPUS1034-Abs360
- OPUS1036-Abs210
- OPUS1038-FitError
- OPUS1042-Abs254
- OPUS1052-COD-SACeq
- OPUS1060-SQI
