The physical oceanography of Bowling Green Bay, north Queensland: Station BG06
An Aanderaa RCM4S rotor current meter was deployed on a frame at Station BG06. This was one of three current meters placed to investigate the complex coastal jet and one of two current meters placed to investigate the strong tidal currents in the southeast corner of the bay.Deployment Details:Instrument: RCM4S #6332Instrument depth: 4mSampling interval: 30 minutesDate deployed: 23/10/1984Date recovered: 18/02/1985
This study was initiated to:1. gain an understanding of the circulation of water in Bowling Green Bay2. complement concurrent studies by AIMS scientists researching the ecology, nutrient regime and trophodynamics of the coastal boundary of the Great Barrier Reef lagoon.

- Statement: Descriptions of quality control procedures, sampling techniques, processing techniques, data recovery, data reliability and analysis techniques are given in the report "Kelly LR and Andrews JC (1985) Field Survey - Physical Oceanography: Bowling Green Bay October 1984 to April 1985. OS 85/01. Australian Institute of Marine Science. 107 p."The Aanderaa RCM4S current meter #6332 was fitted with a kit designed for shallow measurements. These kits alter the calibration of the instrument and must be adjusted accordingly.
