Funded Activity Summary

Coastal Processes Driven by the East Australia Current. Coastal waters of Northern NSW are dominated by the East Australia Current (EAC). Through its strength, variability in space and time, and its proximity to the coast, the EAC directly controls not only the longshore currents, but also the cross-shelf transport of nutrients, plankton and other biota. A knowledge of EAC dynamics and ocean productivity will be achieved in this project by comparison of results from high resolution ocean models (having additional biological modules) with data from Research Vessel Franklin cruises in 1998 and 1999.
