N2  - Data from three current-meter moorings in the south-east corner of the Gulf of Carpentaria indicate that barotropic diurnal tidal currents are predominant. The low-passed currents are also barotropic but there is not a good correlation between the currents at the three moorings or with the wind recorded at Mornington Island. This may be due to the existence of topographic gyres in the residual currents, or the winds recorded at Mornington Island not being representative of those at the mooring sites.
