National Reference Stations
National Reference Stations provide fundamental baseline information used to understand how large-scale, long-term climate change and variability is affecting Australian coastal seas. In addition to the continuous monitoring of physical oceanic properties of the moorings, these sensor-based observations are combined with vessel-based biogeochemical sampling on a monthly basis (for most locations). Data Deployments A current…

Acoustic Observatories
Acoustic Observatories use an array of noise loggers that employ hydrophones moored to the sea floor. These specially designed noise loggers record all underwater noise including sound from natural oceanic processes, animals and man-made sources. This ambient noise provides the ability to detect important underwater events and detect the presence of different fish and mammal…

Western Australia Moorings
Western Australia Moorings is a collection of shelf mooring designed to monitor the major oceanographic features in the southern west coast of Australia. The mooring arrays are strategically located to monitor coastal upwelling and the structure and variability of the Leeuwin Current in the south west of Australia. Moorings are currently located off Two Rocks…

Queensland and Northern Australia Moorings
Queensland and Northern Australia Moorings collect key oceanographic data from shelf arrays located in the northern tropics along the Great Barrier Reef and the north west region of Western Australia. The mooring array provides near real-time and delayed mode observations of physical oceanographic conditions of the regions and water quality measurements. Data Deployments The Great…

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…
