Brief description

This record describes data from the first long-term, systematic oceanographic measurements in Spencer Gulf, South Australia. The seasonal variations of temperature and salinity, from both large-scale CTD (conductivity-temperature-depth) surveys and time-series observations at a fixed station, reveal the manner in which the gulf responds to seasonal influences.

Maintenance and Update Frequency: notPlanned
Statement: 1) Aanderaa weather station recorded wind speed and direction, air temperature, air pressure and relative humidity. 2) Aanderaa thermistor string: 11 sensors at 1-m intervals through the water column, the upper two in air 3) Two Aanderaa RCM4 current meters, recording current speed and direction, temperature, conductivity and pressure. One was attached to the beacon close to the surface, and the other was in a frame, which sat on the bed. In both cases, directional information came not from a fin and gimbal arrangement, but from a small vane assembly, constructed in-house, which was linked to the internal compass by a magnetic clutch at the base of the instrument casing. 4) A tide gauge recorded bottom pressure and temperature.
