New South Wales Moorings
New South Wales Moorings collects a wide range of oceanic data along the coast of South-Eastern Australia. An array of moorings strategically located along the continental shelf captures the key processes of the East Australian Current system and associated eddy field. Listed below are the direct links to the different sub-sets of data from New…

Understanding of Marine Imagery
Understanding of Marine Imagery will establish a national repository for annotations of marine imagery, including those collected by IMOS Autonomous Underwater Vehicles. This repository will aid in the sharing of quantitative information and encourage consistencies in annotated labelling and providing tools for summarising and reporting on data relating to species and habitat distributions around Australia.…

National Reef Monitoring Network
The National Reef Monitoring Network brings together shallow reef surveys conducted around Australia (and globally) into a centralised database. Data Contributors The IMOS National Reef Monitoring Network sub-Facility collates, cleans, stores and makes this data rapidly available from contributors including: Reef Life Survey, and the Australian Temperate Reef Collaboration (a partnership between the University of…

National Mooring Network
The National Mooring Network is a collection of mooring arrays strategically positioned in Australian coastal waters. The National Mooring Network measures physical and biological parameters, and includes regional arrays of shelf moorings, acidification moorings, acoustic observatories and a network of National Reference Stations that include additional vessel-based sampling. Locations Currently eight National Reference Stations are…

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles
Autonomous Underwater Vehicles or AUVs are unmanned vehicles that operate independently and under their own power. While very large-scale surface processes can be easily addressed by both remote sensing and ship-borne systems, characterisation of seafloor processes is often unachievable by these traditional methods. AUVs are effective for rapid and cost-effective high-resolution, accurately geo-referenced and targeted…

Event Based Sampling
The IMOS Event Based Sampling sub-Facility uses Ocean Gliders to monitor marine heatwaves in Australian coastal waters, with up to four deployments per year. Data is transmitted from Ocean Gliders in near real-time and available through the Australian Ocean Data Network. Why it’s important The ability of Ocean Gliders to provide high-resolution temporal and spatial…
