Full description
Monthly surveys of the continental shelf waters due west of Hillarys Marina (Perth, WA) were undertaken between October 1996 and December 1998, both to provide basic information on the water properties and as in situ validation of satellite SST and ocean colour data. Vertical temperature/salinity profiles were taken at each of the 9 stations across the 40-km transect, as well as depth-integrated nutrients and chlorophyll, light and optical properties, and phytoplankton and zooplankton samples. Surface temperature and fluorescence were recorded continuously across the transect.Lineage
