Data: Heron Island

At Heron Island there are five Sensor-Floats that each have a single thermistor mounted underneath the float at a depth of around 60cm. These are marked on the map below as icons 1 through to 5.

Also at Heron are the six network poles, each pole has a single bottom mounted thermistor, these are marked on the maps as icons A-F.

On pole 'E' there is a Vaisala WXT520 weather station.

Use the table below with the map to select the sensor you wish to get data for, use the 'Data Link' icon to go to the GBROOS/FAIMMS data web site to view and download the data for that sensor. For the thermistor data you can select the date range you wish to view, for the weather station you can select the parameter you wish to view as well as the dates.
