Figure 2.2. Temperature profile at the Solwara 1 prospect site during December 2005.<br />

2.4 Bathymetry<br />

High resolution digital bathymetry of the Solwara 1 prospect site was provided by the client.<br />

Additional digital bathymetry of the Manus Basin region was sourced by APASA for modelling<br />

purposes. In Figure 2.3 the bathymetry profile for the study area is provided with the identification of<br />

the discharge location at 152° 5.7’ E 3° 47.34’ S which is approximately 1,500 m deep. This<br />

bathymetry data was imported into the CHEMMAP system onto a bathymetric grid using 500 x 500<br />

grid cells, each at 60m x 60m resolution.<br />
