Observation details

Overview

Estuary Barwon River Estuary
Site Barwon River - Observation Site
Observation ID #5262
Date and Time Monday 7th March 2011 09:20am
Approved Approved

Notes

We were unable to read water level gauge - too dirty.
Bp1 and Bp2 still to be redefined after bridge works
Tide condition probably "slack", but the effect of the northerly wind on the surface of water made the flow appear to be "outward".
We were surprised that the wind strength was greater at Bp3 (sea level), than at Bp4 (top of the Bluff). Our wind observations were recorded for Bp4 (as usual).
