IMOS - Australian Coastal Ocean Radar Network (ACORN) Facility

The Australian Coastal Ocean Radar Network (ACORN) facility comprises a coordinated network of HF radars delivering real-time, non-quality controlled and delayed-mode, quality controlled surface current data into a national archive. 

Based on experience in Europe and the USA, deployment of these radars is expected to make a profound change to coastal ocean research in Australia. HF radar provides unprecedented time-resolved surface current maps over the monitoring sites for physical and biological ocean research. 

Deployment of the radars is in support of regional nodes where there is a range of identified questions concerned with boundary currents and associated eddies and their interactions with shelf water and topography. In turn these are linked to productivity, connectivity of biological populations and phenomena such as coral bleaching and diseases. It provides a basis for applied research in wave prediction and offers test sites for hydrodynamic modelling. 

The equipment comprises long-range WERA and medium-range WERA systems and long-range SeaSonde systems, and associated spares and transport infrastructure. An existing system that was installed by James Cook University in the Capricorn/Bunker region around Heron Island on the Great Barrier Reef was integrated into the network. An HF radar acquisition by a consortium led by South Australian Research and Development Institute in South Australia was also integrated into the network.

IMOS - Australian Bluewater Observing System (ABOS) Facility

The Australian Bluewater Observing System (ABOS) Facility provides the coordination of national efforts in the sustained observation of open ocean properties with particular emphasis on observations important to climate and carbon cycle studies.  The major areas of research driving the facility include:
* tracking multi-decadal ocean change and predicting regional and marine impacts;
* understanding the modes and drivers of climate variability in the Australian region;
* improved understanding and prediction of ocean currents; and
* discovering the links between ocean and climate variability, marine chemical cycling and ecosystem structure and function at various time scales.

ABOS observations are primarily obtained from moorings specially designed for each site. Autonomous profiling floats and gliders have also been deployed at the Southern Ocean sites to obtain complementary data. Operation of the facility is spread between three sub-facilities.

1) The Air-Sea Flux Stations (ASFS) sub-facility focuses on marine meteorology and delivers measurements which are necessary for computing air-sea fluxes of heat, momentum and mass with the option to measure surface photosynthetically active radiation and surface UV to help assess light available for phytoplankton production.

2) Southern Ocean Time Series (SOTS) provides high temporal resolution measurements of physical, chemical and biogeochemical parameters in sub-Antarctic waters. The emphasis is on inter-annual variations of upper ocean properties and their influence on exchange with the deep ocean. 

3) Deepwater Arrays (DA) includes observational programs based on moored conductivity-temperature-depth sensors and current meter arrays in deep waters that are specifically targeted to monitor formation of Antarctic Bottom Water, inter-basin exchange and major boundary currents. The Deepwater array sites include: 
a) Polynya Array - the Adelie Land Coast deep shelf to observe outflows of newly forming Antarctic Bottom water, 
b) Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) Array - Timor Passage and Ombai Strait, to monitor the inter-basin Indian-Pacific Ocean exchange and the upper limb of the global overturning circulation, 
c) East Australian Current (EAC) Array - east coast of Australia, near Brisbane, to monitor EAC transport.

IMOS - ANMN South Australia (SA) Deep-Slope Mooring (SAM7DS)

The SA Deep-Slope Mooring (IMOS platform code: SAM7DS) is one of five South Australian regional moorings designed to monitor particular oceanographic phenomena in coastal ocean waters. The mooring is located at Latitude:-36.18, Longitude:135.85. It was first deployed in December 2009.

This mooring in conjunction with SAM3MS are placed directly along the shelf gradient from NRSKAI to the shelf break.  The purpose of these moorings is to monitor the cross-shelf structure of any currents moving along the shelf break.  They are also used to monitor any uplifted ocean water that may be present during the summer upwelling conditions in the SAIMOS region.

The Deep-Slope Mooring is maintained for 6-8 months each year, during summer/autumn depending on logistics.

IMOS - ANMN South Australia Mooring Sub-Facility

The Southern Australia Moorings Sub-Facility is part of the Australian National Mooring Network.

This sub-facility is establishing a national reference transect of moorings and measurements off South Australia, which includes all parameters measured by the IMOS National Reference Stations (NRS).

The South Australia moorings sub-facility is based at the South Australian Research and Development Institute in Adelaide and is responsible for a total of five moorings. These moorings are deployed to continuously monitor the large seasonal coastal upwelling of water that occurs along the region's continental shelf during summer. This upwelling brings cold, nutrient rich waters onto the shelf which boosts primary productivity, creating one of the most productive coastal marine ecosystems in Australian waters. The five moorings measure an array of physical and biological properties and are a combination of four regional moorings and a National Reference Station (biological sampling at SAM5CB, SAM8SG and NRS).

The regional moorings consist of one shelf mooring located on the same isobath as the NRS and in the path of the upwelled/downwelled exchange, a mooring located near the mouth of Spencer Gulf to measure possible winter outflow of saline rich water, and two slope moorings at a depths of 175m and 600m positioned across the shelf gradient in line with the NRS to measure the Flinder's Current and possible eddy velocities. The NRS is located at a convergence point of isobaths and monitors upwelling and outflow events as well as long-term variations in the strength of the coastal current.

There are four discontinued moorings that were once part of this sub-facility, for which data is still available: M1 Deep Slope Mooring (SAM1DS) and M6 Investigator Strait Mooring (SAM6IS) were both discontinued in 2009, and M4 Canyon Mooring (SAM4CY) and M2 Cabbage Patch Mooring (SAM2CP) were both discontinued in 2010.
