WAMSI Node 1.1 - Marmion Lagoon CTD and Mooring Measurement Program(July 2007 to May 2008)

The Science Plan for WAMSI Node 1 Project 1 characterised the south west Australian marine coastal and shelf ecosystem structure and function.

Mooring progam

An array of instruments was deployed four times between July2007 and May 2008, recovered after 4-6 weeks each time to download data, and service the instruments.

CTD Surveys

During the course of the mooring program a ctd survey of the region was completed at approximately monthly intervals using the RV Linnaeus. In the first 2 surveys a grid of 25 stations was occupied after which a further 5 stations were added to the northern end of the grid.
