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 vesselsInstalled with automatic weather stations
BLUElink
AustraliaIMOS 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.
