Derwent Estuary Station 9 Temperature and Salinity Profiles (Aug 2012 - Jan 2013)

Samples of Temperature and Salinity from a CTD profile have been measured at Station 9 in the Derwent Estuary between August 2012 and January 2013. The data is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in June 2026. It includes profile data likely captured at regular intervals over the six-month period.

Use Cases

• Modeling seasonal changes in estuarine water properties based on the six-month time series.
• Analyzing the relationship between temperature and salinity profiles at a fixed monitoring station.
• Calibrating or validating hydrodynamic models for the Derwent Estuary using in-situ CTD data.
• Assessing water column stratification and mixing events from the profile data.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific six-month period from August 2012 to January 2013.
• Profile data is sourced from a fixed monitoring station (Station 9) in the Derwent Estuary.
• Available in multiple formats including NetCDF, which is standard for scientific oceanographic data.

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 and temporal bias inherent to a single station and a limited time frame.
