Map and schematic diagram showing the locations of the data collection around Australia. (a) Annual mean sea surface temperature provided by the SSTAARS climatology data product11 with typical ocean circulation patterns superimposed as grey arrows. The locations of the data collection sites: (b) Rottnest Island (NRSROT), (c) Port Hacking (PHA and NRSPHB/PH100), and (d) Maria Island (NRSMAI). The positions of the data: bottle (orange spots), CTD casts (blue spots) and moorings (white square) data are shown, alongside nearby data flagged as not usable (grey spots). The NRSPHB/PH100 and PHA sites are included in panel (b), but only the bottle and CTD data used for the climatology at NRSPHB/PH100 is coloured. The black boxes in panels (b-d) indicate the area over which satellite SST data were averaged. Map information sourced from Google: Map data ©2021 Google.
