The hourly datasets provide data accumulated from all 5 deployments, and provide details of the eastern & northern tidal components, cross & long-shore velocity components, temperature, salinity and sigma-T. The subsets to these larger datasets, present individual data points collected at sample intervals of 10 mins (deployment 1) or 15 mins (deployments 2, 3, 4, 5). Compared to the hourly averaged datasets, these allow water movements to be studied over a shorter time scale. The parameters measured include the eastern and northern tidal components, water speed and direction, temperature, salinity and sigma-T.

Purpose
Previous experiments revealed low frequency water movements in the bay that were wind forced. This was an unexpected result that led to an emphasis on looking at alternative mechanisms of driving circulation. This experiment was designed to monitor the exchange of water between the bay and the shelf.
