The NRS Kangaroo Island Mooring (IMOS platform code: NRSKAI) is one of a series of National Reference Stations designed to monitor particular oceanographic phenomena in Australian coastal ocean waters. The mooring is located at Latitude:-35.83. Longitude:136.447. Sensor data are collected at the mooring using an NXIC Conductivity Temperature Pressure (CTD) by Falmouth Scientific, a Workhorse Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) by Teledyne RDI and a Water Quality Monitor (WQM) by WETLabs. Parameters measured include temperature, pressure, salinity, chlorophyll concentration and turbidity. Sensor data are available in quality controlled NetCDF format from the IMOS OPeNDAP server. Biogeochemical data are also available.
