IMOS - ABOS Southern Ocean Time Series (SOTS) Sub-Facility, Pulse 5 Mooring Platform (Oct 2008 to Apr 2009)

Two 'Pulse' mooring platforms were deployed on the 5/10/2008, a 'Light' model and a 'Heavy' model mooring.

Instruments on the mooring collect the parameters listed in the lineage field, below.

Attached are the data files of those readings, as well as graphed results and some animations of the movement of the PULSE over time.


Background:
=========
Moored instruments are deployed by the IMOS SOTS facility for time-series observations of physical, biological, and chemical properties, in the Sub-Antarctic Zone southwest of Tasmania , with twice-yearly servicing. 

These time-series observations are crucial to resolving ecosystem processes that affect carbon cycling, ocean productivity and marine responses to climate variability and change, ocean acidification and other stresses. 

This is one of only 29 high temporal resolution sites identified globally and 1 of 3 proposed for the Southern Ocean. 

Pulse is a platform still under development. The design challenge for Pulse is not only to create a surface mooring that can endure the Southern Ocean but one that dampens the accelerations the surface float experiences enough so that the water sampler and biogeochemical sensors can function and survive long deployments.

IMOS - ABOS Deepwater Arrays (DA) Sub-facility, Polynya array, Polynya3 Mooring Platform

The Polynya3 (Mertz region) deepwater mooring was deployed on 2011-01-23 at (-66.15 S, 143.01 E) off the Adelie Land Coast in Antarctica, and currently remains in place, inaccessible due to pack ice. In February 2014 a second array was deployed in a new location near the Totten Glacier.

Instrumentation includes 75kHz Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (RDI longranger ADCPs), and Seabird SBE37s (SM, SMP and SMP-ODO).

The mooring will collect a time series of full-depth profiles of water velocity and discrete temperature and salinity measurement at four depth on each mooring, between the seafloor and 300m depth (the mooring are limited to this depth to avoid contact with icebergs).

This Polynya mooring array will re-continue the time series of bottom water export begun in 2008, using observation strategy, modified as required following recovery of the array in 2009.

The aim of the IMOS Polynya mooring array is to measure the export of dense Antarctic Bottom Water from the Adélie Land coast. Sinking of dense water near Antarctica supplies the deep branch of the global overturning circulation, a pattern of ocean currents that strongly influences climate. Several studies have recently shown that the properties of the bottom water in the Australian Antarctic Basin are changing. Monitoring the temperature, salinity and oxygen of bottom water will provide observations to detect how the Southern Ocean limb of the overturning circulation is responding to changes in high latitude climate forcing. The goal of the new Totten region location is to obtain measurements of "warm" inflow to, and (if possible) outflow from the Totten Glacier system. As it happened, access right to the Totten was not possible, and moorings were sited closer to the Dalton Iceberg Tongue and Moscow University Ice Shelf, possibly part of the Totten inflow story.

IMOS - ABOS Deepwater Arrays (DA) Sub-facility, East Australian deep water array, East Australian Current 4 Mooring (EAC4) Platform

The EAC4 deepwater mooring was deployed in April 2012 at (-27.21 S, 154.65 E) off the Queensland coast, near Brisbane, Australia. The mooring was recovered in August 2013 and the array decommissioned, and a newly configured array (with new moorings) was redeployed in May 2015.  

Instrumentation on the mooring includes 75kHz Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (Long Ranger ADCPs), Seabird SBE37SMPs, temperature loggers (Star Oddi, Starmon Mini) and discrete current meters (Aquadopp 6000).

The mooring will collect a time series of full-depth profiles of water velocity and discrete temperature and salinity measurements. 

The array will consist of 9 current meter and property moorings extending eastward from the Queensland Coastal Node shelf mooring array near Brisbane to the deep ocean. The moorings will be at 500-600 m intervals across the Continental Slope and increasing to 800-1000 m in the deep ocean.  

The East Australian Current (EAC) is the major western boundary current of the south Pacific Ocean. It plays a critical role in the ocean re-distribution of global heat from the equator to the midand- high latitudes. The EAC is relatively stable north of Brisbane, but as the current moves south 2-3 large eddies are pinched off every year. These eddies frequently move onto the continental shelf and close inshore and influence the local circulation patterns. At prominent coastal features the EAC moves away from the coast, driving upwelling which draws nutrient-rich water from a depth of 200-m or more.

IMOS - ABOS Facility Southern Ocean Time Series (SOTS) Subantarctic Zone Sediment Trap Moorings (SAZOTS) (deployments from 1998)

Sediment traps (IMOS platform code:SAZOTS) are cones which intercept and store falling marine particles in collection cups. The particles consist of a range of material including phytoplankton, zooplankton, faecal pellets, and dust. Each trap collects a time series of samples. The sediment traps are from deep moorings in the Southern Ocean, typically at 47S, 54S, and 61S and at around 140 degrees East. Each mooring typically has 2-3 traps between 800m and 3800m below sea-level.

The samples are size fractionated into <1mm and >1mm fractions using a 1mm sieve. Various chemical analyses and observations have been made on the <1mm fraction. Analysis methods are described in the attached document "SAZ PROJECT MOORED SEDIMENT TRAPS: RESULTS OF THE 1997-1998 DEPLOYMENTS".

Photographs of the >1mm fraction from 1998 to 2012 are available here for download. After processing, data from IMOS deployments will be made available.

Preliminary biogeochemical data for the sediment traps on the 2008/09 mooring are available. These preliminary data are indicative only and have not been quality controlled. Analysis of the samples is ongoing. A full dataset for this sediment trap deployment will be made available through the IMOS Ocean Portal when analysis is complete.

IMOS - AATAMS Facility Satellite Relay Tagging Program

The Australian Animal Tracking And Monitoring System (AATAMS) is a coordinated marine animal tagging project.  

Satellite Relay Data Loggers (SRDL) (most with CTDs, and some also with fluorometers) are used to explore how marine mammal behaviour relates to their oceanic environment. Loggers developed at the University of St Andrews Sea Mammal Research Unit transmit data in near real time via the Argo satellite system.

The Satellite Relay Data Loggers are deployed on marine mammals, including Elephant Seals, Weddell Seals, Australian Fur Seals, Australian Sea Lions, New Zealand Fur Seals. Data parameters measured by the instruments include time, conductivity (salinity), temperature, speed, fluorescence (available in the future)  and depth.

Data is being collected in the Southern Ocean, the Great Australian Bight, and off the South-East Coast of Australia.
