Manly Hydraulics Laboratory (MHL) collects rainfall data at over 300 continuously recording stations with additional sites installed for specific studies. The majority of data available online for the public has been collected under the NSW Coastal Data Network Program managed by Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH).

Manly Hydraulics Laboratory MHL is located in Manly Vale, New South Wales. We acknowledge here the traditional custodians of this land, Kay-ye-my (denoting 'manly') clan of the Guringai people, and pay our respects to their elders past and present. MHL was established in 1944 under the then NSW Department of Public Works (now Public Works Advisory), to undertake hydraulic studies of the Oberon Dam. MHL is now a business unit within the Water Division of the Department of Planning and Environment. Since its establishment, MHL has developed specialist capabilities and experience in a range of coastal, water and environmental management areas to become NSW Government's specialist professional advisor in its core capability areas, which include: - flow and water quality measurement and investigations - oceanographic, coastal, estuarine and riverine process studies - investigation and design of hydraulic, coastal and maritime structures. MHL's recognised capabilities include the use of physical and numerical models integrated with our extensive coastal data collection and management experience to maximise public value in the solutions and advice we provide. MHL's experienced hydrographers operate one of the world's most comprehensive coastal and environmental data collection networks on behalf of NSW Government, hosting over 16,000 station years of continuous data extending from the 1980s. Professional engineers and scientists utilise both numerical models and scaled physical hydraulic models in a broad range of studies. Our irregular and multi-directional wave modelling facilities and NATA accredited flow meter calibration capability are unmatched in Australia. MHL's commercial boats and registered divers offer scientific reconnaissance and maritime structure assessment capabilities.

In July 1985 the Division of Oceanography embarked on a wave observation program with the deployment of two "Waverider" buoys in the Southern Ocean near Cape Sorell on the west coast of Tasmania. Data were collected from moored Waverider Buoys deployed for various periods in Tasmanian coastal waters off Cape Grim, Cape Sorell (100m), Cape Sorell (50m) and Storm Bay. These observations are used to assess both typical and extreme sea states at these sites and for estimating spatial, seasonal and interannual variations in wave conditions in the Tasmanian region. The program concluded in December 1993 when the Storm Bay buoy ceased operation. There are two distinct datasets: a) Derived statistical data is available on-line for the seven locations mentioned in "Wave Climate Measurements in the Southern Ocean." b) Sample burst data for each of (possibly) nine locations. NOTES: All instruments used, and a copy of the data obtained during this program were sent to the Bureau of Meteorology. The Marine Observation Unit at the Bureau (marine_obs@bom.gov.au) may be able to provide additional information. The data files in this collection are not in a Datacente supported format and no assurances are given as to the accuracy of data, or of the locations implied by the data file names. The CSIRO Waverider program has not been continued.

The Mentelle Basin survey GA-0293, SS08/2005 was acquired by Geoscience Australia onboard the RV Southern Surveyor from the 28th of September to the 19th of October 2005. This deep water rift basin (up to 4500m depth) is located offshore from Fremantle on the SW Australian margin. The objectives of the survey was to study deep water marine habitats and to assess the petroleum potential of the Mentelle Basin. The swath data collected covered a new area of seabed that revealed the extents of the blind submarine canyons and completed the coverage of the Perth Canyon and filled the remaining gaps with high resolution swath bathymetry data. This dataset is not to be used for navigational purposes.

This data set is part of a larger set of data called the Multibeam Bathymetry Database (MBBDB) where other similar data can be found

This dataset contains all multibeam bathymetry data held by Geoscience Australia as of June 2018. It was compiled from data holdings lying within the offshore area of Australia, including international waters, and gridded at 50m. Source information can be found in the associated vector product, AusSeabed Bathymetry Holdings (https://pid.geoscience.gov.au/dataset/ga/116321). This dataset is accessible via clip, zip & ship enabled web mapping service on Geoscience Australia’s Marine data portal, http://marine.ga.gov.au. In future, this product will be delivered dynamically through the AusSeabed portal (in development). This dataset is not to be used for navigational purposes.
