14 BLUElink Australia 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

15 BLUElink Australia 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

16 BLUElink Australia IMOS Project: Satellite SST Data Products Covering the Australian Region 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). HRPT 1 km AVHRR SST 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.
