AUV Sirius is a modified version of a mid-size robotic vehicle Seabed built at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. This class of AUV has been designed specifically for low speed, high resolution imaging and is passively stable in pitch and roll. AUV Nimbus is a custom design with the aim of deploying off smaller vessels than Sirius whilst remaining able to operate in similar environments. AUV Iver is an extended Ocean Server Iver2 class platform with additional navigation and imaging sensors but lacks the ability to work over complex underwater terrain. Based on its small size, it can be deployed from RHIBs and other small vessels. The main objective of the IMOS Autonomous Underwater Vehicles Facility is to support sustained observations of the benthos, in support of the IMOS integrated benthic monitoring program. . The Facility is based at the Australian Centre for Field Robotics (ACFR) within the School of Aerospace, Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering at the University of Sydney. This IMOS Facility finished in June 2023, with data still available through the AODN Portal. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[112.0, -45.0], [160.0, -45.0], [160.0, -12.0], [112.0, -12.0], [112.0, -45.0]]]} 112.0 160.0 -45.0 -12.0 Countries | Australia Global / Oceans | Indian Ocean Global / Oceans | Pacific Ocean Marine Features (Australia) | Bass Strait, TAS/VIC Oceans | Bathymetry | Seafloor Topography Oceans | Bathymetry | Water Depth Oceans | Ocean Chemistry | Carbon Dioxide Oceans | Ocean Chemistry | Chlorophyll Oceans | Ocean Chemistry | Nutrients Oceans | Ocean Chemistry | Organic Matter Oceans | Ocean Chemistry | Oxygen Oceans | Ocean Optics | Fluorescence Oceans | Ocean Optics | Turbidity Oceans | Ocean Temperature | Water Temperature Oceans | Salinity/density | Conductivity Regional Seas | Coral Sea Regional Seas | Tasman Sea States, Territories (Australia) | New South Wales States, Territories (Australia) | Queensland States, Territories (Australia) | Tasmania States, Territories (Australia) | Victoria States, Territories (Australia) | Western Australia Autonomous Underwater Vehicles page on IMOS website documentDigital HTML View and download data though the AODN Portal documentDigital HTML Autonomous Underwater Vehicle image viewer (including download) documentDigital HTML Explore, annotate and download data through Squidle+ website documentDigital HTML Link to Autonomous Underwater Vehicle images documentDigital HTML imos:auv_trajectory_map documentDigital Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Deployments WMS auv_trajectory_st_data documentDigital This OGC WFS service returns filtered geographic information.
