Beagle Gulf Current Measurements from May 2015 to July 2017

From 24 May 2015 to 16 July 2017, this dataset contains ocean current observations from the Beagle Gulf. It was collected by the Australian National Moorings Network's National Reference Systems sub-facility as part of the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project. The data is managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Modeling coastal water circulation based on time-series current measurements.
• Analyzing seasonal or tidal current patterns in the Beagle Gulf based on the multi-year observation period.
• Validating hydrodynamic models using in-situ mooring data from the Australian National Moorings Network.

Strengths

• Data collection spans over two years, from May 2015 to July 2017.
• Collected by the established Australian National Moorings Network (ANMN) facility.
• Part of the national-scale Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Freshness should be verified; last metadata update was 2026-06-04.
