The IMOS Continuous Plankton Recorder Sub-Facility (AusCPR) uses a number of Continuous Plankton Recorders (CPR), the only platform that can assess plankton species and be towed behind ships of opportunity. Species-level data are vital to examine mesoscale productivity, biodiversity, and climate impacts on marine ecosystems. Two seasonal routes will be operated, in the Southern Ocean, and the East Australian Current. Data from Southern Ocean CPR (SO-CPR) surveys are available. In addition to data currently being collected, historical data from 1990 have been made available by scientists from the Australian Antarctic Division. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[45.0, -70.0], [180.0, -70.0], [180.0, 30.0], [45.0, 30.0], [45.0, -70.0]]]} 45.0 180.0 -70.0 30.0 AAD Agency Australian Antarctic Division Biosphere Bluewater and Climate CSIRO Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research O Continuous Plankton Recorder Countries East Australian Current Fluorescence IMOS Node IMOS Sub-Facility Indian Ocean Microbiota Multidisplinary Underway Network NSW-IMOS New South Wales New South Wales Integrated Marine Observing Syste New Zealand Ocean Optics Ocean Temperature Oceans Pacific Ocean Phytoplankton Plankton Queensland Regional Seas SOOP-CPR Sea Surface Temperature South Australia Southern Ocean Tasman Sea Tasmania Water Temperature Western Australia Zooplankton Link to SOOP-CPR page on IMOS website documentDigital HTML
