| Zusammenfassung |
The Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS, www.imos.org.au),
an AUD $150 m 7-year project (2007–2013), is a distributed set of
equipment and data-information services which, among many applications,
collectively contribute to meeting the needs of marine climate research in
Australia. The observing system provides data in the open oceans around
Australia out to a few thousand kilometres as well as the coastal oceans
through 11 facilities which effectively observe and measure the
4-dimensional ocean variability, and the physical and biological response of
coastal and shelf seas around Australia. Through a national science rationale IMOS is organized as five regional nodes (Western
Australia – WAIMOS, South Australian – SAIMOS, Tasmania – TASIMOS, New SouthWales – NSWIMOS and Queensland – QIMOS) surrounded by an oceanic node
(Blue Water and Climate). Operationally IMOS is organized as 11 facilities
(Argo Australia, Ships of Opportunity, Southern Ocean Automated Time Series
Observations, Australian National Facility for Ocean Gliders, Autonomous
Underwater Vehicle Facility, Australian National Mooring Network, Australian
Coastal Ocean Radar Network, Australian Acoustic Tagging and Monitoring
System, Facility for Automated Intelligent Monitoring of Marine Systems,
eMarine Information Infrastructure and Satellite Remote Sensing) delivering
data. IMOS data is freely available to the public.
The data, a combination of near real-time and delayed mode, are made
available to researchers through the electronic Marine Information
Infrastructure (eMII). eMII utilises the Australian Academic Research
Network (AARNET) to support a distributed database on OPeNDAP/THREDDS
servers hosted by regional computing centres. IMOS instruments are described
through the OGC Specification SensorML and where-ever possible data is in CF
compliant netCDF format. Metadata, conforming to standard ISO 19115, is
automatically harvested from the netCDF files and the metadata records
catalogued in the OGC GeoNetwork Metadata Entry and Search Tool (MEST). Data
discovery, access and download occur via web services through the IMOS Ocean
Portal (http://imos.aodn.org.au) and tools for the display and
integration of near real-time data are in development. |
