Full description
Two oceanographic moorings (Karmt 50 and Karmt 100) were set in 50 and 100m water depth near the Karmt Shoals in the Oceanic Shoals Bioregion of the Timor Sea in 2004. The moorings were set in January 2004, recovered and redeployed in April 2004, and finally recovered in December 2004.A current meter and 4 temperature and pressure recorders were attached to each mooring for both deployments.This study was undertaken to investigate the distribution of shelf edge upwelling phenomena, a potentially significant attribute of the Oceanic Shoals bioregion.
This study was a component of the project "Biodiversity and the factors controlling it, for selected habitats in the Timor Sea region", which seeks to integrate data from biodiversity surveys, chemistry, oceanography and geology to understand the processes that sustain the biota of the region.
