OCEANCURRENT.IMOS.ORG.AU – AN OUTREACH ACTIVITY OF THE AUSTRALIAN INTEGRATED MARINE OBSERVING SYSTEM (IMOS)

摘要

The Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) is a research infrastructure initiative of the Australian Federal Government. IMOS has been responsible for a major increase in the number and range of ocean data being collected in the Australian region. It has also been instrumental in bringing all the major research organisations together because they jointly implement and benefit from the system. IMOS has a focus on rapid delivery, to all users, of the data collected. To span the wide range of user needs, IMOS has a comprehensive web presence, including areas focussing on information and newsletters about the program, user-driven exploration of the data base, and a section known as OceanCurrent that hosts a wide range of pre-prepared still and animated graphics products that reveal the ever-changing nature of Australia’s ocean environment.
