Ambient estuarine water quality monitoring data (includes near real-time sites)

Created 04/05/2025

Updated 20/05/2025

This resource collects time series water physicochemical In-situ parameter readings, water (current) flow velocity and direction, Nitrogen and Carbon compounds and weather conditions every ten minutes. Quality control codes have been introduced to the data to assist with interpretation of the data.

Equipment is housed in a large yellow floating Buoy, anchored in position within the tidal zone in Eden Lassie Creek upstream of the discharge for De Costa Auaculture property (in Sandfly Creek) approximately 5.0km from the mouth of the Eden Lassie Creek, Proserpine at Lat-20.1845 Long 148.411 Datum GDA.

Water column depth at this position is approximately 5.0 meters.

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
