Hydrodynamics at the whole of Great Barrier Reef scale (MTSRF Project 2.5i.1)

Created 24/06/2017

Updated 09/10/2017

A three-dimensional whole-of-GBR baroclinic hydrodynamic model was applied at a spatial resolution of between 1 and 4 km. The model simulations are compiled to examine the intensity, duration and frequency of different lower salinity events. Return periods are then calculated from the annual frequency of such events.

The model includes the factors affecting currents, mixing, temperature and salinity within the GBR lagoon and exchanges with the adjacent Coral Sea: river discharge, time-series wind, tidal.

Accurate boundary forcing for offshore ocean boundaries was provided by a global, data-assimilating, eddy-resolving model.
