PCIMP: Water Quality Monitoring in the Lower Boyne Estuary from 2006 to 2026

Port Curtis Integrated Monitoring Program (PCIMP) data collected by sensors deployed in Zone 10a of the lower Boyne Estuary. The Australian Ocean Data Network manages this dataset, which covers a time range from 01 July 2006 to 17 March 2026. The data was last updated on 16 June 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze long-term water quality trends based on the 20-year monitoring period mentioned in the title
• Model estuarine health based on sensor-derived water quality parameters implied by the description
• Calibrate regional water quality models based on data from a specific monitoring zone (10a)

Strengths

• Covers a 20-year monitoring period from 2006 to 2026
• Data is sourced from a structured environmental monitoring program (PCIMP)
• Managed by the authoritative Australian Ocean Data Network

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to a single estuarine zone
