An Aanderaa RCM current meter was attached to mooring CM2, located south of John Brewer Reef and in the free stream. The mooring was deployed in 36m of water. Deployment Details:Date Deployed: 4/4/1987Date Recovered: 5/9/1987Instrument Deployed:RCM #6022; Depth: 18m The aim of this project was to collect field data to calibrate a numerical model for the combined tidal and wind-forced circulation at John Brewer Reef, and to apply those circulation patterns to calculate the trajectories, residence times and likelihood of outbreaks of crown-of-thorns starfish on areas of the reef. The model boundary was defined by CM1, CM2, CM3, CM4, CM5 and CM13. However, the current meters attached to moorings CM5 (deployed 2/4/87) and CM13 (deployed 1/4/87) were not recovered. Mooring CM4 (deployed 2/4/87)drifted to the Whitsunday Islands. The current meter was badly fouled and the data were unusable.
