A 6m steel self supporting pole was erected on the southern side of Pelorus Island in the channel between Pelorus Island and Orpheus Island. The pole provides network connectivity for the other Relay Poles located on the northen edge of Orpheus Island (RP2 and RP3) as well as a back-haul link to the mainland using a nextG connection.The pole has an array of sensors on it including two MEA thermistors located 50m and 100m away from the pole on a transect from the pole into the deep water of the channel. The pole also has a SeaBird SBE39 (temp + pressure) located around 100m from teh pole and a SBE37 (conductivity, temperature and pressure) located approximatly 200m from teh pole in the deep waters of the channels. See the sensor metadata records (children of this record) for the exact locations and depths. The project looks to deploy sensor networks at seven sites along the Great Barrier Reef to measure a range of physical parameters at a range of scales. The project will install communications, data and platform infrastructure that will support future sensor work looking at biological and chemical parameters. The FAIMMS Project is part of the GBROOS or Great Barrier Reef Ocean Observing System project which in turn is part of the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System or IMOS.
