WAMSI Node 6.2 - Ocean Dynamics at Scott Reef, Western Australia - SUNTANS model

Created 23/06/2025

Updated 23/06/2025

High resolution, three-dimensional numerical modelling of the tidally driven dynamics around Scott Reef. The purpose of the modelling was to capture the fine scale (~100 m) flow structures resulting from the tide interacting with the complex reef topography. Hourly data of approximately 20 million model grid points were created. 3 tidal cycles during spring-tide conditions were modelled with model output including currents (u, v, w), water level, temperature and density at model grid points. Vertical extent is from surface to 3000 metres
