#13610 | 13 Mar 2020 | Approved |
Notes:
Rain last 48 hrs = 0 mm; Atmos. pressure = 1011 hPa. Rained continuously during monitoring period! Heavy wind and wave surges pushed water across the berm opposite the BmP2 observation site. These inflows temporarily raised the estuary water level by up to 2 cm. |
|
#13574 | 15 Feb 2020 | Approved |
Notes:
Rain past 48 hrs = 1.4 mm; Atm. Press. = 1012 hPa Mouth opening continues to shift south. |
|
#13544 | 24 Jan 2020 | Approved |
Notes:
Rain past 48 hrs = 14.6 mm; Atm. Press = 1009 hPa. River mouth has moved Southwards. Although no tidal influence was observed, dark water stains on the estuary bank indicated that there was tidal intrusion during the 1.8 m high tide of the previous night. |
|
#13469 | 22 Dec 2019 | Approved |
Notes:
No rain past 48 hrs; Atm press = 1024 hPa. |
|
#13413 | 18 Nov 2019 | Approved |
Notes:
Rainfall past 48 hrs = 0.8 mm; Atm. Press = 1015 hPa Tidal influence would have been greater at 04:18 hrs when the predicted tide height was 2.03 m. |
|
#13372 | 21 Oct 2019 | Approved |
Notes:
Rainfall past 48 hrs = 0.8 mm; Atm. press. = 1030 hPa. River level observed to be slowly dropping after recent rains. |
|
#13312 | 13 Sep 2019 | Approved |
Notes:
Rainfall past 48 hrs = 1.6 mm; Atm. press = 1023.5 hPa. There is an ongoing build-up of sediment and debris at the river gauge. (See photo.) River height readings may not be possible during dry months. Question for Estuarywatch co-ordinator: Vegetation growth has progressively obscured our vision of the river mouth from Photopoint BmP3. (See photo BmP3-3). Other viewpoints have advantages, and may deserve consideration. (See, for example, photo BmP2-5.) |

#13120 | 10 Jun 2019 | Approved |
Notes:
Rainfall past 48 hrs = 1 mm; Atm. press. = 1006.2 hPa Estuary water level high, accompanied by considerable width. Note the river levels observed at BmP2 were not steady, but showed short term fluctuations within the range 1.16 to 1.23 m, according to wave action at the river mouth. |
