Cyclone Sadie flood plumes in the Great Barrier Reef Lagoon : composition and consequences : proceedings of a workshop held in Townsville Queensland, Australia, 10 November 1994, at the Australian Institute of Marine Science

Abstract

In late January of 1994, cyclone Sadie brought intense rainfall to north Queensland catchments, first significant monsoonal event since 1991. Several organisations responded, by monitoring composition and fate of these riverine waters as they flowed through catchments and into nearshore marine waters of the Great Barrier Reef lagoon.
