Full description

The Sydney Harbour catchment area includes a number of different river systems which drain into the Port Jackson estuary. During high rainfall events the catchment areas behave differently to deliver contaminants into the Port Jackson estuary. Under conditions of high rainfall contaminants are delivered to areas very quickly as freshwater slides over the top of the denser more saline waters of the estuary. Sonde samples, for measurement of conductivity, salinity, turbidity and temperature; were taken along the Port Jackson estuary over three days to determine the behaviour of the freshwater plume as it travels in a layer of freshwater to be flushed or flocculate out at some point in the estuary.

Lineage

Statement: A YSI 6136 Multi-parameter Sonde instrument was used to measure the water profile parameters.
Statement: In-situ measurements were made after a high rainfall event on this day. Data parameters: depth (m), electrical conductivity (SpCond, mS/cm), salinity (ppt), turbidity (NTU), water temperature (oC).

Purpose
To analyse water profile data collected during a high precipitation event over the Sydney Harbour catchment in order to determine how the Port Jackson estuary behaves under these conditions.
