IMOS Facilities, operated by ten different institutions within the National Innovation System, are funded to deploy equipment and deliver data streams for use by the entire Australian marine and climate science community and its international collaborators. The AODN Portal (https://portal.aodn.org.au/) allows marine and climate scientists and other users to discover and explore data streams coming from all of the Facilities – some in near-real time, and all as delayed-mode, quality-controlled data. These data streams, long time-series that are ‘under construction’, represent the actual research infrastructure being created and developed by IMOS. IMOS observations are guided by science planning undertaken collaboratively across the Australian marine and climate science community. IMOS now has a National Science and Implementation Plan that draws on the intellectual strength of its six science Nodes – a ‘Bluewater and Climate’ Node focused on the open ocean, and five ‘Regional Nodes’ covering the continental shelf and coastal seas of Western Australia, Queensland, New South Wales, Southern Australia and Tasmania. Leaders of the Nodes come together to form a national steering committee that oversees the whole process, and IMOS science plans are subjected to international peer review on a rolling basis to ensure the planned science is world-class. There are five major research themes that unify IMOS science plans and related observations: 1. Multi-decadal ocean change, 2. Climate variability and weather extremes 3. Major boundary currents and interbasin flows 4. Continental shelf processes, and 5. Ecosystem responses (productivity, abundance and distribution). IMOS is supported by the Australian Government through the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy and the Super Science Initiative. It is led by the University of Tasmania on behalf of the Australian marine and climate science community. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[45.0, -90.0], [168.0, -90.0], [168.0, -9.0], [45.0, -9.0], [45.0, -90.0]]]} 45.0 168.0 -90.0 -9.0 Atmosphere | Atmospheric Pressure | Sea Level Pressure Atmosphere | Atmospheric Temperature | Air Temperature Atmosphere | Atmospheric Water Vapor | Humidity Atmosphere | Atmospheric Winds | Surface Winds Atmosphere | Precipitation Biosphere | Microbiota | Phytoplankton Biosphere | Zoology | Zooplankton IMOS Facility | Animal Tracking IMOS Facility | Argo Floats IMOS Facility | Autonomous Underwater Vehicle IMOS Facility | Coastal Wave Buoys IMOS Facility | Deep Water Moorings IMOS Facility | National Mooring Network IMOS Facility | Ocean Gliders IMOS Facility | Ocean Radar IMOS Facility | Satellite Remote Sensing IMOS Facility | Ships Of Opportunity IMOS Facility | Wireless Sensor Network Oceans | Ocean Chemistry | Alkalinity Oceans | Ocean Chemistry | Ammonia Oceans | Ocean Chemistry | Carbon Dioxide Oceans | Ocean Chemistry | Carbonate Oceans | Ocean Chemistry | Chlorophyll Oceans | Ocean Chemistry | Inorganic Carbon Oceans | Ocean Chemistry | Nitrate Oceans | Ocean Chemistry | Nitrite Oceans | Ocean Chemistry | Nitrogen Oceans | Ocean Chemistry | Organic Carbon Oceans | Ocean Chemistry | Oxygen Oceans | Ocean Chemistry | Silicate Oceans | Ocean Chemistry | Suspended Solids Oceans | Ocean Chemistry | pH Oceans | Ocean Circulation | Ocean Currents Oceans | Ocean Pressure | Water Pressure Oceans | Ocean Temperature | Sea Surface Temperature Oceans | Ocean Temperature | Water Temperature Oceans | Ocean Waves | Significant Wave Height Oceans | Ocean Waves | Wave Spectra Oceans | Salinity/Density | Conductivity Oceans | Salinity/Density | Salinity IMOS website documentDigital HTML IMOS metadata catalogue documentDigital HTML AODN Portal documentDigital HTML Website of the Australian Ocean Data Network (AODN) documentDigital HTML Unnamed resource documentDigital License Graphic PNG Unnamed resource documentDigital HTML
