Appendix A : Data Catalogue

Coorong data categories

All data available for model setup and validation has been compiled, from HCHB research, prior research and routine monitoring (see Chapter 3). Data is categorised in the general areas of :

  • Bathymetry
  • Meteorology
  • Hydrology
  • Water Quality
  • Sediment
  • Biota

These are defined into sub-categories, as outlined in Table 9.4.
