Time-space variability of the out-pushing from Bowling Green Bay, north Queensland, in CZCS-chlorophyll imagery

Created 24/06/2017

A Landsat image for March 1981, indicated a strong front that occurred between nearshore and offshore waters, extending offshore from Cape Bowling Green, north Queensland. This front coincided with high concentrations of billfish and baitfish populations known to exist in the area.

Six CZCS images from the NASA Nimbus-7 satellite, taken between the 12th May 1980 and the 20th June 1982, were selected for analysis of pigment concentrations (chlorophyll a and phaeopigments). Raw data were processed and analysed using the microBRIAN system.

Wind speed and direction as well as tidal information for the time that the images were taken was also collected.
