Sensor-Float 2 deployment at Lizard Island as part of the Facility for the Automated Intelligent Monitoring of Marine Systems - FAIMMS

A round 1.4m yellow buoy has been deployed in the southern part of the main lagoon of Lizard Island to the east of Palfrey Island.

The buoy is configured as a sensor-float with a Campbell Scientific logger, spread-spectrum radio and 2.4/5 GHz 802.11 wireless for communicating with the base station (located at the workshop near the Research Station) a surface mounted (60cm under the water surface) thermistor and an inductive modem to support a range of inductive sensors, initially this will be a SeaBird SBE39 measuring temperature and pressure (depth) and a SeaBird SBE37 measuring conductivity (salinity), temperature and depth.

As of August 2010 the inductive sensors are located along a 30m cable that runs north into the main lagoon with a SBE39 located at the base of the buoy and the SBE37 at the end of the sensor run.

The unit will be serviced every six months and will be used in the future for attaching new sets of sensors.

Sensor-Float 2 deployment at Heron Island as part of the Facility for the Automated Intelligent Monitoring of Marine Systems - FAIMMS

A round 1.4m yellow buoy has been deployed in the Heron Island lagoon as part of the sensor network infrastructure at Heron Island in the southern Great Barrier Reef off Gladstone, Australia. 

The buoy is configured as a sensor-float with a Campbell Scientific logger, a spread-spectrum radio for communicating with the on-reef wireless network, a GPS and initially a surface mounted (30cm under the water surface) thermistor.

The float is moored in the lagoon of Heron Island in around 3m of water and will be used to monitor the flow of water through the lagoon. It will be fitted with surface salinity and bottom depth and temperature in late 2008. 

The unit will be serviced every six months and will be used in the future for attaching new sets of sensors. The buoy is re-locatable and the GPS data should be used to find the current location.

Sensor Float 1 deployment at Myrmidon Reef as part of the Facility for the Automated Intelligent Monitoring of Marine Systems - FAIMMS

Sensor network infrastructure was installed at Myrmidon Reef in the central Great Barrier Reef off Townsville, Australia. The infrastructure consists of a base station mounted on the existing reef communications tower and a single buoy which carries the actual sensors.

Myrmidon Reef is on the edge of the continetial shelf and so the station is designed to measure upwelling of water from the slope coming up and onto the continential shelf. The station is linked to stations at Rib Reef (mid-shelf) and Orpheus Island (inshore) to track upwelling water across the shelf.

Selected Asset and Liabilities of the Private Non-financial Sectors

The selected non-financial assets data are sourced from the RBA. These data relate to households only.

‘Consumer durables’ are tangible assets, other than dwellings, that generally have a life of a year or more. These include motor vehicles, furnishings and other household equipment. The quarterly estimates of the market value of consumer durables owned by households are interpolated from annual data sourced from the ABS. The latest data are extrapolated from the most recent observation.

‘Dwellings’ are considered to be private dwellings owned by households in all areas of Australia. These include houses, semi-detached dwellings, townhouses, terrace houses, flats, units and apartments. The market value of the stock of household dwellings is estimated by multiplying the dwelling stock by an Australia-wide mean dwelling price series. The dwelling stock is estimated by combining Census data and the number of new dwellings completed each quarter (sourced from the ABS) with an adjustment for estimated demolitions. The dwelling price series is constructed from a number of sources including RP Data/Rismark.

The financial assets and liabilities data are derived from ABS Cat No 5232.0, Tables 4 and 20. The sectoral classification is on a national accounts basis and differs slightly from that in the preceding tables. In particular, the household sector includes unincorporated enterprises and non-profit institutions serving households. Identified claims between transactors in the same sector are excluded. The data were upgraded in 2009 to comply with SNA08 standards and are only available back to June 1988.

‘Reserves of life offices and pension funds’ are equal to total assets of life offices, superannuation funds and friendly societies, less liabilities of these institutions other than to policyholders and fund members. Ownership of these net assets is imputed to the household sector.

‘Unfunded superannuation claims’ are liabilities of state, local and national governments to public sector employees in respect of unfunded retirement benefits.

‘Loans from banks’ are taken directly from the asset side of Table 8 in the above ABS catalogue and exclude bills of exchange etc.

Seismic Surveys, Australia (2015)

This data set is a summary of seismic survey transects from 1961 to 2015. The data was summarised to 0.1 deg grids and the number of km of the grid surveyed over a 5 year period was calculated. 

Geoscience Australia is releasing its 2014 version of the Marine Seismic Surveys Shape and Kml files. These files have been updated to include recent openfile surveys. The spatial files have been created from a cleansed, updated collection of p190 navigation files. This navigation collection has grown from the checking of navigation submitted to the GA Repository under the Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage Regulations

http://www.ga.gov.au/metadata-gateway/metadata/record/gcat_f5f24293-c9c1-6ed9-e044-00144fdd4fa6/Marine+Seismic+Survey+Shape+and+Kml+Files+-+2014+Version

This data contains geographical information in shapefiles that represent 2D and 3D seismic surveys from 1961 to 2013.They represent most of the seismic surveys shot around Australia. 
According to Mike Sexton (pers. comm., 2013; GA) 3D surveys are modern surveys that shoot with multiple cables, acquiring many times more data than a 2D survey. The cables have no impact on the environment.

 Over time, seismic surveys have used a variety of sources commencing with dynamite in the 1960s (usually 50 lbs, but sometimes 200 lbs). The shot spacing was usually of the order of 200 m. Since then, electrical discharges (sparkers), gas-exploders, vibratory sources and air guns have been used. The shot interval has been reduced to about 20 m.

Secchi Disc data measured during a high rainfall event in Port Jackson, 25 August 2007

The Sydney Harbour catchment area includes a number of different river systems which drain into the Port Jackson estuary. During high rainfall events the catchment areas behave differently to deliver contaminants into the Port Jackson estuary. Under conditions of high rainfall contaminants are delivered to areas very quickly as freshwater slides over the top of the denser more saline waters of the estuary. Secchi Disc samples were taken along the Port Jackson estuary over four days to determine the behaviour of the freshwater plume as it travels in a layer of freshwater to be flushed or flocculate out at some point in the estuary.
