IMOS continues to deploy and recover ocean observing equipment Argo profiling floats, Ships of opportunity, Deepwater moorings, Ocean gliders, Autonomous underwater vehicles, Shelf/coastal moorings, Ocean radar, Animal tracking, Wireless sensor networks, Satellite remote sensing (reception, calibration/validation, product processing and delivery). These observations are all openly available via the IMOS Australian Ocean Data Network, and continue to be taken up and used in high impact research, and for management purposes.Beneficiaries
The beneficiaries are researchers across Australian and international universities, publicly funded research agencies, government agencies and industry. These researchers and research institutions use IMOS-derived data to provide benefit to society across international, national and local scales.
