# eReefs AIMS Visualisation Portal

In this portal you will find a range of visualisations of the eReefs Hydrodynamic and BioGeoChemical models of the Great Barrier Reef. These models are like weather models, but for the marine environment, providing a picture of the current and historical environmental conditions on the Great Barrier Reef. Here you can see past extreme weather events such as:

Hydrodynamic and BioGeoChemical models of the Great Barrier Reef. These models

Here you can see past extreme weather events such as:

- Cyclones: [Yasi (Feb 2011)](./gbr4/temp-wind-salt-current/index.qmd#year=2011;month=2), [Ita (April 2014)](./gbr4/temp-wind-salt-current/index.qmd#year=2014;month=4), [Nathan (March 2015)](./gbr4/temp-wind-salt-current/index.qmd#year=2015;month=3), [Debbi (March 2017)](./gbr4/temp-wind-salt-current/index.qmd#year=2017;month=3),
- Coral bleaching from high temperature ([March 2016](./gbr4/temp-wind-salt-current/index.qmd#year=2016;month=3), [March 2017](./gbr4/temp-wind-salt-current/index.qmd#year=2017;month=3)),
- Flood plumes with low salinity ([North Queensland Flooding 2019](./gbr1/salt-multi-depth/index.qmd#region=townsville-3;year=2019;month=2), [Burdekin Jan 2011](./gbr1/salt-multi-depth/index.qmd#year=2011;month=1;region=townsville-3))

This site provides both direct visualisations of the outputs of the eReefs
Hydrodynamic and BioGeoChemical models and aggregations of the hourly and daily
data to longer time periods (monthly and annual).

# eReefs CSIRO Hydrodynamic Model

The [eReefs hydrodynamic model](https://research.csiro.au/ereefs/models/models-about/models-hydrodynamics/) predicts the movement of water and key
environmental conditions (temperature, salinity, currents, tides). This model
allows us to better understand how cyclones mix the water, the location of
potentially damaging heat waves, the ocean currents that disperse larvae of
corals and Crown-of-Thorns starfish, and fresh water plumes from flooded rivers
that can damage inshore reefs.

This model is run with a 4 km and 1 km grid size. The 4 km grid has a longer
hindcast going back to September 2010, while the 1 km model starts in December
2014. The 1 km model also only extends out to the edge of the Great Barrier
Reef, whereas the 4 km model covers much of the Coral Sea. The hydrodynamic
model and visualisations are normally updated in near-real time, within 1 week
of the current date.

Note: The eReefs models are currently not being run in near-real time by CSIRO
as a result this site only shows the back catalogue up to mid 2020. Near
realtime results are expected to be back in operation by the end of 2020.
