Derwent Estuary Temperature and Salinity Profiles from Station 6

Derwent Estuary in Australia contains samples of temperature and salinity measured via CTD profile at Station 6. The data was collected by the Australian Ocean Data Network between August 2012 and January 2013. The dataset is available in formats including NetCDF, HTML, and PNG.

Use Cases

• Modeling estuarine water column dynamics based on temperature and salinity profiles.
• Analyzing seasonal changes in water properties based on the August 2012 to January 2013 time range.
• Calibrating remote sensing data with in-situ CTD profile measurements.
• Studying spatial variability within an estuary based on data from a fixed station.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific 6-month period from August 2012 to January 2013.
• Measurements are from a fixed geographic location, Station 6 in the Derwent Estuary.
• Data is available in the structured NetCDF format, suitable for scientific analysis.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data freshness should be verified; last metadata update was 2026-06-16.
