Abstract : This dataset comprises the current meter data collected from Maria Island (Tasmania East Coast) during September 1983-April 1984, as part of the Australian Coastal Experiment (ACE). There is 1 mooring with 2 current meters represented in this dataset. Parameters typically recorded in current meter data comprise east-west and north-south velocity components, water temperature, pressure, and salinity at a nominal depth for each current meter. The data have been processed and are archived as part of the holdings of the CMR Data Centre in Hobart.

Voyage/Survey Description

The Maria Island Mooring was designed as a southern outlier deployed for the 1983 ACE (Australian Coastal Experiment) study. One mooring with 2 current meters was deployed in a water depth of 200 m. The meters were deployed in September 1983 and were recovered in April 1984.
