GBRPPS: Palm Passage Shelf Mooring component of the GBR Mooring Array. Central GBR - Palm Passage Moorings off TownsvilleThe set of moorings off Townsville are designed to measure the flow of water onto and across the GBR shelf. The channeling and more open reef matrix allows incursions of the warm surface waters of the East Australian Current but also intrusions of cold nutrient rich water that on occasion reach coastal waters. The slope mooring is located near Myrmidon Reef (GBRMYR) and the shelf mooring is in Palm Passage (GBRPPS). The Mooring array is part of the GBROOS or Great Barrier Reef Ocean Observing System project which in turn is part of the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System or IMOS.
