Colmslie

This resource collects time series water physicochemical In-situ parameter readings, and water flow direction and speed, every thirty minutes. Quality control codes have been introduced to the data to assist with interpretation of the data.

Equipment is housed in a small yellow YSI DB600 type floating Buoy, anchored in position within the tidal zone approximately 10.0km from the mouth of the Brisbane River, near Colmslie Boat Ramp. Position Lat 27°26’53.33"S Long 153°04’57.23"E Datum GDA.

Water column depth at this position is approximately 5.0 meters.

Water Quality is measured by a YSI EXO3 mulitparameter sonde at 0.4m below the surface, which collects : Timestamp, Record, EXO_TempC, EXO_SpCondmScm, EXO_Salpsu, EXO_pHmV, EXO_pH, EXO_Depthm, EXO_BatV, EXO_ChlugL, EXO_ChlRFU, EXO_DOPerSat, EXO_DOmgL, EXO_BGAPERFU, EXO_BGAPEugL, EXO_TurbFNU, and EXO_TurbNTU data

Water Current is measured by an Aanderra 4000 series Z Pulse Doppler. Doppler Parameters measured/collected are: Timestamp, Record, DCS_Model, DCS_ Serial, DCS_ABSSpeed_Avg (UNIT cm/S), DCS_Direction_Avg, DCS_NorthCur_Avg, DCS_Heading_AVG, DCS_TiltX_Avg, DCS_TiltY_Avg, DCS_SPstd_Avg, DCS_SigStrenght_Avg, DCS_PingCnt_Avg, DCS_AbsTilt_Avg, DCS_MaxTilt_Avg, DCS_StdTilt_Avg.
