This metadata record contains an Excel workbook of current meter data and a report derived from this data detailing an analysis of the mean and variability of the longshore component of the current using observations from four current meters, and, simple modelling of the effluent outfall using a model originally developed for shoreline discharges from the oil industry. The Excel workbook contains data from 4 of the 6 analogue Anderra current that meters were deployed in the area in front of Davis Station in early 2010. Data was not retrievable from meters CM4 and CM6. The meters were deployed at approximately 5 m below the surface. Refer to the Davis STP reports lodged under metadata record Davis_STP for current meter locations and deployment and retrieval details.
