Baffle Creek 2019 (Current velocity and direction)

Time series water (current) flow velocity and direction for 2019

Yellow in colour, this is a floating 0.7m diameter Buoy anchored within the tidal zone at the Ferry Crossing approximately 16km from the mouth of Baffle Creek, between Gladstone and Bundaberg, Queensland, Lat: -24.50861, Lon: 151.9279, Datum: GDA 94.

Water column depth at this position is approximately 6.0 meters.

Water flow direction and velocity is also collected at a depth of 1.0 meter below the surface via an [Aanderra Doppler Current Sensors] (https://www.aanderaa.com/productsdetail.php?Current-Sensors-10)(DCS) Model 420 which operates on the backscatter acoustic doppler principle.

The sensor has built-in compass and tilt sensor.

Note: this resource also collects Water Quality data and is available on this website.
