SUPERSEDED: eReefs GBR4 hydrodynamics v1.85
SUPERSEDED: This dataset has been superseded by GBR4_H2p0 (2010-09 to present) and it was removed from the NCI fx3 project and THREDDS server in April 2024. An archive copy has been retained by the custodians, and access can be arranged on request.
Results from version 1.85 of the 4 km resolution regional-scale hydrodynamic model of the great Barrier Reef (GBR4). It was forced with BlueLink OceanMAPS data on the open boundaries and Bureau of Meteorology model ACCESS-R for surface atmospheric data. The tide was introduced through 22 constituents derived from the global CSR tide model, and 22 river boundaries incorporated measured stream flow and temperature data from QLD DNRM's gauging stations.
This model version was published for reference in the SIEF report from January 2016, but was later discovered to have been forced with incorrect (multiplicative error) rainfall levels, and the 2015 results contain salinity errors.
This model configuration and associated results dataset may be referred to as "GBR4_H1p85" according to the eReefs simulation naming protocol.

- Supplemental Information

The marine modelling component of eReefs was tasked to deliver numerical models capable of simulating and predicting the physical hydrodynamic state, sediment transport, water quality and basal ecology of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) lagoon and reef matrix. Together, these models represent a capability to simulate the transport and fate of waterborne material, of either oceanic or terrestrial origin, and its impact on Reef water quality. The numerical models are built using CSIRO’s Environmental Modelling Suite, and include regional 4 km and 1 km resolution models.
The 4 km resolution model (GBR4 regional model) is intended to simulate the dominant oceanographic processes impacting on the GBR shelf. The 4 km grid (GBR4) has 180 x 600 cells, including 44 vertical layers with 1 m resolution at the surface.
The 1 km resolution model (GBR1 shelf model) is nested within the 4 km model (GBR4) and began routine operation in December 2014. The 1 km grid (GBR1) is extremely large, with 510 x 2390 cells, including 48 vertical layers with 1 m resolution at the surface.
The product is CF 1.0 compliant.
