Abstract:
The East Australian Current (EAC) is the complex, highly energetic western boundary current that flows along the east coast of Australia. The EAC and its associated turbulent eddies dominate the marine climate of the Coral and Tasman Seas and the eastern Australian continental shelf. Here we present a series of consistent EAC data products that combines in situ temperature, salinity and velocity observations from the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) and Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) EAC mooring array and North Stradbroke Island reference site. The EAC data products are produced from over 1000 individual instrument files collected during six 18-month deployments in the East Australian Current (EAC) off Brisbane, Australia at 27 °S between 2012-2022. The mooring individual instrument files are combined, interpolated onto a common vertical, temporal (hourly and daily) and spatial grid. The ITCOMPSOM method is used to fill missing data in the time series. These data product can be used to investigate intra- and interannual EAC variability and boundary current dynamics.
