    Subject:   Noosa Spit SEMP - Lower Noosa River Metocean Data Collection




1           Instrument Retrieval Summary
To inform the Noosa Spit SEMP, metocean data collection has been completed. Fixed deployment
instruments were retrieved between 28-30 April 2019. This memorandum follows the previous
correspondence (M.B23636.002.MetoceanDeployment, 29 March 2019) and includes a summary of the
following datasets:

• Tide recorder (pressure transducer) continuous measurements of water level for approximately six
  weeks at six locations in the lower Noosa River. This data will be used to calibrate the hydrodynamic
    model and may also provide some valuable information to partially address concerns regarding the
    published tidal planes.

• Fixed deployment Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) continuous measurements of water level,
  current speed, current direction and wave parameters (height, period and direction) offshore from Noosa
    Main Beach. This data will be used to calibrate both the hydrodynamic and wave models.

Figure 1-1 provides a map showing the instrument deployment locations.
