Updated 20/05/2025

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

Equipment is housed in a small yellow floating Buoy, anchored in position within the tidal zone approximately 5.0km from the mouth of Dempster Creek , Proserpine at Lat-20.6973 Long 148.638 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 :
