Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) have moorings across both it's National Mooring Network and Deep Water Moorings facilities. The National Mooring Network facility comprises a series of national reference stations and regional moorings designed to monitor particular oceanographic phenomena in Australian coastal ocean waters. The Deep Water Moorings facility (formerly known as the Australian Bluewater Observing System) provides the coordination of national efforts in the sustained observation of open ocean properties with particular emphasis on observations important to climate and carbon cycle studies, with selected moorings from its Deep Water Arrays sub-facility providing data to this collection. This collection represents the hourly aggregated time-series product, which combines selected variables measured by all the instruments deployed at a site, binning the values into a fixed one-hour interval. Only good-quality measurements (according to the automated quality-control procedures applied by the National Mooring Network) are included. The parameters are: temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll estimates, turbidity, down-welling photosynthetic photon flux (PAR), and current velocity, accompanied by depth and pressure when available. The observations were made using a range of temperature loggers, conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) instruments, water-quality monitors (WQM), acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs), and single-point current meters.
