IMOS - ANMN Queensland and Northern Australia (QLD) Mooring Sub-Facility

The Queensland and Northern Australia Mooring Sub-Facility is part of the Australian National Mooring Network (ANMN). 

This sub-facility consists of array moorings located in the northern tropics along the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) for Q-IMOS in the east and in the north western parts of Australia for the WAIMOS nodes. The mooring arrays provide near real time and delayed mode observations from oceanographic moorings comprising physical (temperature, salinity, sea level and currents) and on most moorings, water quality measurements (turbidity, fluorescence, dissolved oxygen). 

The GBR array (extends an earlier long term observing program) is located along the outer Great Barrier Reef in order to monitor the Western Boundary currents of the Coral Sea comprising the poleward East Australian Current (EAC) and the equator-ward Gulf of Papua Current. Four mooring pairs consist of a continental slope mooring in 70 to 300m of water and its partner on the outer continental shelf within the reef matrix in depths of 30 to 70m. The array is designed to detect any changes in circulation, temperature response, mixed layer depth and ocean-shelf exchanges. 

WAIMOS observations in the north west of Australia  commenced in June 2010 with the roll out of 4 moorings from Joseph Bonaparte Gulf to the Timor slope. These continental shelf moorings complement a deep water array monitoring the Indonesian Throughflow in the Timor Tough and Ombai Strait operated by the IMOS ABOS facility. In early 2012 two more arrays were added off the Kimberley and Pilbara continental shelf regions (these were discontinued in August 2014). The arrays are looking to monitor boundary currents such as the Holloway and Leeuwin Currents. Cross-shelf exchanges are also observed in these high energy macro-tidal and internal wave dominated shelves. 

In 2013 in partnership with the Darwin Port Corp, the Northern Territory Government a new real time mooring was located in Beagle Gulf. The Palm Passage mooring on the GBR was upgraded to near-real-time in February 2013.

IMOS - ANMN Queensland and Northern Australia, Pilbara 50m (PIL050) Mooring Platform

The Pilbara 50m mooring (IMOS platform code PIL050) is part of the Pilbara array. It was initially deployed on the 21/02/2012 at (20.13 S, 116.67 E). The site depth is 54.1m. This mooring array was discontinued, and this mooring removed in August 2014.

Mooring Designs replicate where possible similar instrumentation to the Shelf ITF moorings. Observations of currents, temperature and salinity are collected throughout the array with the coastal mooring also observing optical water quality parameters of fluorescence and turbidity. 

The Pilbara array, in combination with the Kimberly array and the ITF Array will help determine the influence of the Indonesian Throughflow on the currents along the Northwest shelf  and as well as processed driving cross shelf exchange. 

The Pilbara line will help document the variability  in the the northward flowing Ningaloo Current, characterised by cooler waters. In addition, the Pilbara coast is characterised by high evaporation, leading to a cross shelf density gradient.  The cross shelf arrays will allow variability in the  gradient of density and the resultant gravitational currents to be determined.

IMOS - ANMN Passive Acoustic Observatory at Tuncurry, NSW (PATUN)

The Tuncurry Passive Acoustic Observatory (near Tuncurry/Forster, NSW) consists of two to four moorings fitted with /hydrophones set on the seabed at 130-190 m depth that record noise in the ocean. This system can be used to monitor whale and fish migrations, seismic activity and other natural and man-made noise sources. If four moorings are set they are configured with a mooring at each apex of an approximate equilateral triangle of 5 km side with the fourth mooring in the triangle centre. Temperature loggers are set on each mooring at the seabed.

Each logger records at a sampling rate of 6 kHz for between 3-8 min of every 15 min. If four loggers are set a 22 kHz recording is also made once a day to allow accurate synchronisation of the instrument clocks. This is required for locating the source of a sound based on its time of arrival at each hydrophone in the array. A 7 kHz pinger set on the central mooring pings for 35 minutes at a 20 s interval once per day to overlap the 22 kHz sample.

Raw data from each logger is in the form of mixed binary/text files comprised of:
1) text header and footer containing recording start and end date/time, quality control and sampling configuration; and
2) sea noise data of 16 bit unsigned integer, binary values (IEEE, little endian).

Instruments are calibrated for system gain with white noise of known level input with the hydrophone in series, before and after deployments. System calibrations are made over 2 Hz to the Nyquist frequency. The instrument clock drift is checked against GPS transmitted UTC time before and after deployment.

The raw data can be obtained on portable disk from IMOS eMarine Information Infrastructure (eMII).

The Centre for Marine Science and Technology (CMST) at Curtin University has developed Matlab software to process and analyse these data.
