Connectivity Interface (NWSJEMS ConnIe): Dynamic web display of MECO Modelled Circulation Patterns in the Australian North West Shelf Area

The Connectivity Interface or "ConnIe" has been developed as a tool for environmental scientists and managers to investigate the patterns of spatial connectivity on Australia's North West Shelf (NWS). Specifically, it provides the user with an estimate of the probability that any two regions are connected by modelled ocean circulation over a specified dispersion period. These connectivity statistics were computed from the paths of neutrally buoyant particles computed from the "Northwest" circulation model (based on MECO), run over the period from 1994 to 1999. The circulation model used a rotated latitude-longitude grid, with a horizontal resolution of approximately 10km and a vertical resolution expanding from 3 m near the surface to a maximum of 200 m at depths below 1000 m. The model was forced by wind fields from the NCEP-NCAR Reanalysis, while temperature and salinity fields around the lateral boundaries were interpolated from a global circulation model known as the Australian Community Ocean Model (ACOM). Sea levels on the boundaries were also taken from the global model output, with the addition of a tidal component derived from a combination of coastal sea level data and output from a global tidal model. ConnIe is expected to find applications in areas such as larval dispersion and recruitment studies, and the development of scenarios and risk assessments for contaminant dispersion.

Albatross Bay Fish Data 1986-1988

7, four- to five-day cruises were undertaken using the vessel "Jacqueline D" in Albatross Bay, Gulf of Carpentaria between August 1986 and November 1988, using a random stratified trawl survey to measure fish species composition and abundance. Four depth zones between 7 and 45 m were sampled during both day and night. Approx. 890,000 fish of 237 species were collected, of which the bulk were made up of 25 species. The dominant families were Leignathidae, Haemulidae and Clupeidae, with Sciaenidae and Dasyatidae important at night. Leiognathus bindus was the most abundant species, while Caranx bucculentus was the most frequently caught (96% of all trawls). The suite of fishes was separately analysed for occurrence of prawn predators.

RV Investigator Voyage IN2017_T02 CTD Data

This record describes the Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) data collected from the Marine National Facility RV Investigator voyage IN2017_T02 titled: "Collaborative Australian Postgraduate Sea Training Alliance Network Pilot Voyage 1." The voyage took place from Henderson (WA) to Hobart (TAS) between November 14 and November 26, 2017.
Data for 13 deployments were acquired using the Seabird SBE911 CTD unit 23 fitted with 24 twelve litre bottles on the rosette sampler. Samples were collected on casts 1-5 and casts 7-10. Sea-Bird-supplied and CSIRO calibration factors were used to compute the pressures, preliminary conductivity oxygen and temperature data. The data were subjected to automated QC to remove spikes and out-of-range values.
The final conductivity calibration was based on one deployment grouping. The primary sensor had a standard deviation of 0.0009. The secondary sensor had a standard deviation of 0.001. Both sensors had a standard deviation (S.D) less than our target of ‘better than 0.002 PSU’.
The final oxygen calibration from the primary sensor had a standard deviation of 0.9966uM. The final oxygen calibration for the secondary sensor had a standard deviation of 1.0125uM. The agreement between the sensor and bottle data was good for both sensors. Both Oxygen sensors calibrated closely.
Both the primary and secondary sensor output has been included in the final data product for temperature, salinity and oxygen.
A Biospherical photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), Wetlabs transmissometer and Chelsea fluorometer sensors were also installed on the auxiliary A/D channels of the CTD.
