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 Agency | AAD | Australian Antarctic Division Agency | CSIRO | Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation Biosphere | Microbiota | Phytoplankton Biosphere | Microbiota | Plankton Biosphere | Microbiota | Zooplankton Continuous Plankton Recorder Countries | New Zealand Global / Oceans | Indian Ocean Global / Oceans | Pacific Ocean Global / Oceans | Southern Ocean IMOS Node | Bluewater and Climate IMOS Node | NSW-IMOS | New South Wales Integrated Marine Observing System IMOS Sub-Facility | Multidisplinary Underway Network IMOS Sub-Facility | SOOP-CPR | Continuous Plankton Recorder Marine Features (Australia) | East Australian Current Oceans | Ocean Optics | Fluorescence Oceans | Ocean Temperature | Sea Surface Temperature Oceans | Ocean Temperature | Water Temperature Regional Seas | Tasman Sea States, Territories (Australia) | New South Wales States, Territories (Australia) | Queensland States, Territories (Australia) | South Australia States, Territories (Australia) | Tasmania States, Territories (Australia) | Western Australia Link to SOOP-CPR page on IMOS website documentDigital HTML Website of the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) documentDigital HTML Unnamed resource documentDigital License Graphic PNG Unnamed resource documentDigital HTML
