Brief description
Output from the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) hydrodynamic model for the Pilbara region as configured and run by Frank Colberg from CSIRO. The model output contains hourly data from Jan 01 2003 until March 31 2010. Output includes temperature, salinity, surface height, eastward current, westward current, and vertical current along with other model parameters.The Pilbara Marine Conservation Partnership (PMCP) was an initiative designed to enhance the net conservation benefits of the globally-significant coral reef ecosystems of the Pilbara (Western Australia) by providing an assessment of the condition and trajectory of key ecological values. These assessments were designed to inform and complement existing governance and management arrangements and the PMCP is intended to provide ongoing advice and assessment for conservation efforts in the region, providing lasting benefits.
