1 Australian Tidal Currents – Assessment of a Barotropic Model
https://doi.org/10.5194/gmd-2021-51 Preprint. Discussion started: 14 April 2021 c Author(s) 2021. CC BY 4.0 License. Australian tidal currents – assessment of a barotropic model (COMPAS v1.3.0 rev6631) with an unstructured grid. David A. Griffin1, Mike Herzfeld1, Mark Hemer1 and Darren Engwirda2 1Oceans and Atmosphere, CSIRO, Hobart, TAS 7000, Australia 2Center for Climate Systems Research, Columbia University, New York City, NY, USA and NASA Goddard Institute for 5 Space Studies, New York City, NY, USA Correspondence to: David Griffin ([email protected]) Abstract. While the variations of tidal range are large and fairly well known across Australia (less than 1 m near Perth but more than 14 m in King Sound), the properties of the tidal currents are not. We describe a new regional model of Australian 10 tides and assess it against a validation dataset comprising tidal height and velocity constituents at 615 tide gauge sites and 95 current meter sites. The model is a barotropic implementation of COMPAS, an unstructured-grid primitive-equation model that is forced at the open boundaries by TPXO9v1. The Mean Absolute value of the Error (MAE) of the modelled M2 height amplitude is 8.8 cm, or 12 % of the 73 cm mean observed amplitude. The MAE of phase (10°), however, is significant, so the M2 Mean Magnitude of Vector Error (MMVE, 18.2 cm) is significantly greater. The Root Sum Square over the 8 major 15 constituents is 26% of the observed amplitude.. We conclude that while the model has skill at height in all regions, there is definitely room for improvement (especially at some specific locations). -
A NEW SPECIES of SOLENOCERA (CRUSTACEA: DECAPODA: SOLENOCERIDAE) from NORTHERN AUSTRALIA Isabel Perez Farfante and D
28 August 1980 PROC. BIOL. SOC. WASH. 93(2), 1980, pp. 421-434 A NEW SPECIES OF SOLENOCERA (CRUSTACEA: DECAPODA: SOLENOCERIDAE) FROM NORTHERN AUSTRALIA Isabel Perez Farfante and D. L. Grey Abstract.—Solenocera australiana, new species, a close ally of S. halli and S. melantho, is described from material collected in shallow water, 15 to 24 m, off the Northern Territory, Australia. This species is characterized by the antennular flagella which gradually narrow distally toward the 2 or 3 distalmost articles; the roughly lanceolate distal part of the dorsolateral lobules of the petasma which are supported by submesial ribs; and the presence of two pairs of thelycal protuberances on the anterior part of ster- nite XIV, the mesial one usually considerably larger than the lateral, as well as by the straight anterior border of the thoracic ridge. In July 1972, during routine fishery monitoring by the staff of the Fisheries Division, Department of Primary Production, Darwin, a collection of shrimps of the genus Solenocera was taken from commercial grounds north of Groote Eylandt in the western Gulf of Carpentaria. Since that time ad- ditional specimens have been obtained during the course of sampling of penaeid shrimps by fishery research vessels in waters adjacent to the North- ern Territory, mostly in Van Diemen Gulf, but also in other localities off this province by commercial trawlers. Van Diemen Gulf has not attracted significant commercial fishing for pe- naeid shrimps—the only members of the superfamily Penaeoidea that at present are economically important in northern Australia—and to make a preliminary evaluation of its potential as a fishery, a series of brief surveys were made between May 1977 and February 1978. -

The SSC's Action Plans, Occasional Papers, newsletter Species and other publications are supported by a wide variety of generous donors including: The Sultanate of Oman established the Peter Scott IUCN/SSC Action Plan Fund in 1990. The Fund supports Action Plan development and implementation. To date, more than 80 grants have been made from the Fund to SSC Specialist Groups. The SSC is grateful to the Sultanate of Oman for its confidence in and support for species conservation worldwide. The Council of Agriculture (COA), Taiwan has awarded major grants to the SSC's Wildlife Trade Programme and Conservation Communications Programme. This support has enabled SSC to continue its valuable technical advisory service to the Parties to CITES as well as to the larger global conservation community. Among other responsibilities, the COA is in charge of matters concerning the designation and management of nature reserves, conservation of wildlife and their habitats, conservation of natural landscapes, coordination of law enforcement efforts as well as promotion of conservation education, research and international cooperation. -

9 Presidential Address the Discovery Of
CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by University of Queensland eSpace 9 PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS THE DISCOVERY OF AUSTRALIA [By SIR RAPHAEL CILENTO.] (Read on September 25, 1958.) Accidental Factors As far back almost as recorded history goes there had been speculation about the existence of a great "Southland" extending to the South Pole to balance the great land mass of the North. Ancient Chinese geo graphers are said to mention recognisable places in Western New Guinea; the Japanese claim their sailors knew New Guinea, Cape York Peninsula, and the Gulf of Carpentaria many centuries ago; the Malays from Indonesia certainly visited our northern coasts, for cen turies as they do still. From the beginning of the 14th century, however, while the Moslem power declined in the West (in Spain and North Africa) it revived to a new pitch of fanatical fervour in the Middle East, with the incoming of the Turks. They straddled Asia Minor and Mesopotamia and cut the caravan routes by which Europe was sup plied with spices. The best intelligences of Western Europe began to search ancient geographical treatises for a new route to the "Spice Islands," which are the East Indies — Indonesia—lying above the shores of Queensland. This search for the "Spice Islands" was eventually to result in the charting of all Africa southerly; the discovery of the West Indies and of North, South and Central America westerly; of the Pacific Ocean and its islands behind the unsuspected land mass of America, and, last of all, of Queensland—^the first found finger of Aus tralia. -

The Tiwi Meet the Dutch
THE TIWI MEET THE DUTCH: The First European Contacts An outline of the history of Tiwi Contact with European navigators, with special reference to the Tiwi encounter with dutch seafarers in 1705. -by- Peter Forrest For The Tiwi Land Council, PO Box 38545 Winnellie NT 0821. Darwin April 1995. ISBN 0 646 235605 2 Foreword During the past few years our people have recalled with pride a number of special moments in our history when our fathers and mothers responded to certain events of their time; our work during the Second World War, the crisis caused by Cyclone Tracy. the Bicentenary of Australia - all touching our fives and involving us all. But our history extends beyond these recent events to the beginning of time on this land. Evert as Australia itself celebrates 200 years of European settlement, we ourselves recall quite lengthy visits of European people nearly 300 years ago. Some of our school children have been enquiring about these matters and our Land Council has been pleased to produce this booklet to coincide with our commemoration of the visit of Commander van Delft 290 years ago. You will read in these pages the events of long ago. What you will not find are the names of our families who participated in these times, They belong to the songs and legends of the Tiwi, and are as real to us as the writings in this book. We are proud to belong to these families and to the traditions of courage, Integrity, pride and loyalty to each other that they established. -
