This dataset has been superseeded 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.
SUPERSEDED: This dataset has been superseded by "eReefs GBR1 hydrodynamics v2.0" (GBR1_H2p0) and it was removed from the NCI fx3 project and THREDDS server in April 2024.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 an early version of the 1km-resolution shelf-scale hydrodynamic model of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR1). This version of the model was forced by version 1.85 of the eReefs GBR 4 km resolution hydrodynamic model, and the results were made available for comparison purposes only. This model configuration and associated results dataset may be referred to as "GBR1_H1p71" according to the eReefs simulation naming protocol.
Results from version 2.0 of the 4km-resolution regional-scale hydrodynamic model of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR4). This model is forced with BlueLink Ocean Modelling and Prediction System (OceanMAPS) model results on the ocean boundaries and Bureau of Meteorology ACCESS-R model for surface atmospheric data. The tide is introduced through 22 constituents derived from the global CSR tide model, and the river boundaries incorporate measured stream flow and temperature data from QLD DNRM's gauging stations for 22 rivers, and estimated flows and loads for 49 additional rivers. There are no known forcing problems. This model configuration and associated results dataset may be referred to as "GBR4_H2p0" according to the eReefs simulation naming protocol. The model runs in near-real-time mode, updating daily.
Results from version 2.0 of the 1km-resolution shelf-scale hydrodynamic model of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR1). This model is nested within version 2.0 of the 4km-resolution hydrodynamic model (GBR4) data at the ocean boundaries, uses the Bureau of Meteorology ACCESS-R model for surface atmospheric data and incorporates measured flow data from gauging stations at the river boundaries from QLD DNRM. This model configuration and associated results dataset may be referred to as "GBR1_H2p0" according to the eReefs simulation naming protocol. The model runs in near-real-time mode, updating daily.
