The North West Cape oceanography study

Created 23/06/2025

Updated 23/06/2025

This study was initiated to observe physical and biological processes on a range of time scales (seasonal to hourly) within the shelf and slope domain spanning Ningaloo Reef, the entrance to Exmouth Gulf and north as far as Thevenard Island off Onslow. The study was interdisciplinary and involved physical oceanographic, ocean colour/primary productivity and fisheries dispersal studies. Only the physical oceanographic sampling by AIMS is outlined here. Instrumentation was provided by other organisations in order to allow a suitable sampling array.
