This project will lead to significant advances in our understanding of the Ningaloo Current system that dominates the regional circulation surrounding Ningaloo Marine Park, part of the National Representative System of Marine Protected Areas. The numerical model and field measurements will, for the first time, elucidate which physical factors drive the Ningaloo Current and the resulting spatial and temporal variability of upwelling. This will ultimately provide insight into how various ecological processes are linked to hydrodynamics (e.g., nutrient delivery, bleaching) and help assess how susceptible the reef ecosystem may be to changes to physical forcing resulting from climate change.

该项目将使我们对宁格鲁洋流系统的了解取得重大进展，宁格罗海流系统主导着宁格罗海洋公园周围的区域环流，宁格罗海洋公园是国家海洋保护区代表性系统的一部分。数值模式和现场测量将首次阐明哪些物理因素驱动宁格罗洋流以及由此产生的上升流的时空变异性。这最终将深入了解各种生态过程如何与水动力学联系在一起(例如，养分输送、漂白)，并有助于评估珊瑚礁生态系统对气候变化导致的物理强迫变化的易感性。
