Total chlorophyll, dissolved inorganic nitrogen & total suspended solids (GBR4 BGC v3.1 baseline)
Note: The near-real time GBR1 and GBR4 models (including hydro, river tracer and BGC) are currently paused at December 17th 2023 due to infrastructure damage from the recent flooding events around the Daintree River region (see here). These floods have damaged the real-time river temperature and flow sensors across surrounding catchments, and Queensland government is working to recover and restore these as quickly as possible. We will provide further updates when available.
Total Chlorophyll
Sum of chlorophyll concentration of the four microalgae types (small, large, microphytobenthos, trichodesmium)
Dissolved inorganic nitrogen
Concentration of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN). DIN = [NH4] + [NO3].
Total suspended solids
This is the sum of the suspended sediments in the water column. It is [Fine sediment] + [Mud] + [Mud carbonate] + [Mud mineral] + [Dust]
