Derwent Estuary in Australia contains profiles of temperature and salinity measured at six stations between August 2012 and January 2013. The data was collected via CTD (Conductivity, Temperature, Depth) profiling and is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network. The dataset was last updated on the platform in June 2026.
Use Cases
- Modeling estuarine stratification based on vertical temperature and salinity profiles.
- Analyzing seasonal water property changes in the Derwent Estuary between summer and winter.
- Calibrating regional oceanographic models using in-situ CTD measurement data.
Strengths
- Data covers six distinct sampling stations within the estuary.
- Measurements span a defined period from August 2012 to January 2013, capturing seasonal variation.
- Profiles are derived from CTD instrumentation, a standard method for oceanographic data.
Limitations
- Row count and dataset scale are 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.
