Flood simulation animation
An MPG movie showing daily maximum simulated salinity during the 2008 lood event, from the first run of the CSIRO Receiving Waters Model / EMS for this evenet. This website doesn't allow attachedments with mpg extensions, so I have changed the file extension to "jpg", but you'll need to change it back to "mpg" to run the animation.
