| Measurements | |
| Physical oceanography | |
| Surface measurements underway (T,S) | Description: Water samples were taken at half hourly intervals from 1m below surface to determine salinity levels. |
| Transparency (eg transmissometer) | Description: Surface measurements and sampling along an axial track from South Killinghome along the main navigation channel. Water samples were taken at half hourly intervals from 1m below surface. |
| Contamination | |
| Suspended matter | Description: Water samples were taken at half hourly intervals from 1m below surface to determine particle size distribution. |
| Suspended matter | Description: Surface measurements and sampling along an axial track from South Killinghome along the main navigation channel. Water samples were taken at half hourly intervals from 1m below surface. |
| Biology and fisheries | |
| Phytoplankton pigs (eg chlorophyll, fluorescence) | Description: Surface measurements and sampling along an axial track from South Killinghome along the main navigation channel. Water samples were taken at half hourly intervals from 1m below surface. |
