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

Derwent Estuary in Australia is the location for this dataset of temperature and salinity samples collected via CTD profiling at Station 9. The data was gathered 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 stratification and mixing based on concurrent temperature and salinity profiles.
• Analyzing seasonal water property variations in a temperate estuary based on the six-month time series.
• Validating hydrodynamic models of the Derwent Estuary using in-situ CTD profile data.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific six-month period from August 2012 to January 2013.
• Measurements are from a defined geographic location, Station 9 in the Derwent Estuary.
• Data is available in the structured NetCDF format, which is common for scientific environmental data.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
