WAMSI Node 3.1.6 - Physical oceanography of the Ningaloo Marine Park

From April to May 2006, the AIMS Research Vessel Cape Ferguson, measured key hydrodynamic variables at 25 sites spanning the lagoonal waters to the front reef slopes of Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia. Currents, waves, temperature and water level were measured using different observational arrays including wave gauges, single point current meters, current profilers and bottom mounted temperature loggers.
