Abstract
This dataset is the output of a long term multi-resolution calibrated hydrodynamic model of Bass Strait waters in south-eastern Australia. The model is 3 dimensional with 16 sigma layers. It is forced by tides, wind, non-tidal sea level variability as well as salinity and temperature through a nudging scheme. The model was calibrated against existing data from previous fixed location instrument deployments and hull mounted ADCP data. While the model has limitations, it performs well against measured data and provides a useful tool for describing spatially varying currents throughout East Victorian waters.
