National report 2007 - national activities • IMOS - Integrated Ocean Observing System • Launched 2007- $50M program (http://www.imos.org.au/) • Regional office user forum • Chart discussion - forecaster training • Programs • Bluewater and climate • Great Barrier Reef Ocean Observing System • NSW-IMOS, SAIMOS, WAIMOS • NCRIS - National • Launched • BLUEnet • OPeNDAP project

  10. IMOS Project: Sea Surface Temperature Sensors for Australian Vessels • Commencing 2007 • BoM:Equip 8 - 12 Australian VOS with hull-mounted temperature sensors (more accurate than buoys) and transmit real-time, 3-hourly SSTs via GTS • CSIRO: NRT thermosalinograph SSTs from Rottnest Is ferry • AIMS: NRT SSTs from • Whitsunday to Hook Reef ferry (radiometer) • Heron Is ferry (thermosalinograph) • Data Streams • QC’d data will be supplied to the GHRSST-PP in NRT and to IMOS via the Australian ocean portal. 2005 cruise tracks for 8 AVOF vessels Installed with automatic weather stations

  11. IMOS Project: Satellite SST Data Products Covering the Australian Region HRPT 1 km AVHRR SST • Commencing 2007 • In collaboration with CSIRO, NOAA and University of Leicester, convert Australia’s existing satellite SST processing systems to produce level 2 and level 3 skin and bulk SST data files in the GHRSST-PP L2P and L3P formats from direct broadcast AVHRR SST data from existing and future polar-orbiting satellites (NOAA-17, NOAA-18, METOP-A, NOAA-N’, VIIRS on NPOES …) received at groundstations in Townsville, Darwin, Perth, Alice Springs, Melbourne, Hobart and Casey (Antarctica). • Data Streams • L2P and L3P files will be produced in real-time and made available to the GHRSST-PP GDAC and the IMOS Australian Ocean DAAC. • Commencing 2008 raw AVHRR data back to ~1990 will also be reprocessed to L2P and L3P files and made available to the GHRSST-PP global re-analysis project and the IMOS AO-DAAC.
