eReefs GBR4 river tracers v2.0
Passive river tracer results derived from version 2.0 of the 4km-resolution regional-scale hydrodynamic model of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR4).
This model configuration and associated results dataset may be referred to as "GBR4_H2p0_Rivers" according to the eReefs simulation naming protocol.
The model ran in near-real-time mode, updating daily, until January 2024 when the 2023/24 monsoon season caused damage to sensors in the catchments, and we lost access to the critical river-flow forcing dataset.

- 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.
