Report on the Quality Control of the IMOS East Australian Current (EAC) Deep Water moorings array. Deployed: May 2021 to July 2022. Version 1.1.

Abstract

The East Australian Current (EAC) is a complex and highly energetic western boundary system in the south-western Pacific off eastern Australia. It provides both the western boundary of the South Pacific gyre and the linking element between the Pacific and Indian Ocean gyres. The EAC deepwater moorings consisted of an array of full-depth current meter and property (CTD) moorings from the continental slope to the abyssal waters off Brisbane (27S). This report details the quality control applied to the data collected from the EAC array (deployed from May, 2021 to July, 2022). The quality controlled datasets are publicly available via the AODN Data Portal. The data should be used in conjunction with this report.
