Task Teams are assembled to bring together people with specific interests and appropriate expertise to tackle issues that cross Node and/or Facility boundaries. 

Teams will assess particular issues, generally arising from IMOS Annual Planning Meetings, and where appropriate, develop projects to address them.

Bio-optical Working Group 

• Tackling issues of national relevance related to bio-optical measurements and interpretation.

Zooplankton Ocean Observations and Modelling (ZOOM) Task Team 

• Integrating zooplankton observations from multiple platforms with biogeochemical and ecosystem models.

IMOS Radiometry Task Team (IRTT)

• Improving consistency among IMOS radiometric measurements in view of improving their usability for research and for validation of international satellite ocean colour products.
• Planning the future of radiometric measurements in IMOS

 Synthesis and national scale analysis of IMOS acoustic telemetry data

• Developing a national approach to synthesis and analysis of IMOS ATF data and use these analyses to inform future aspects of acoustic telemetry networks.
