IMOS and the Tassie Node 2014

2013 in Review IMOS Office, Facilities and Nodes spent considerable time devising scenarios for ~30% or ~80% bridging funding There is scope to improve the focus on a national observing system What is it about sustained observations that make them valuable? Trends? Temporal variability = future predictions?

Page 4: IMOS and the proposed Tassie Node - Introducing IMOS: IMOS ...imos.org.au/fileadmin/user_upload/shared/IMOS... · IMOS and the Tassie Node 2014 . Node Plan revised: Measured most

IMOS 2014

IMOS and the Tassie Node philosophy • Its underlying scientific rationale is to link

the physics to the fish, really….

• New • IMOS acoustic curtains deployed to monitor

movements of key species • Stronger links to Victoria and northern Bass Strait

primarily through Deakin University

Page 5: IMOS and the proposed Tassie Node - Introducing IMOS: IMOS ...imos.org.au/fileadmin/user_upload/shared/IMOS... · IMOS and the Tassie Node 2014 . Node Plan revised: Measured most

Major Node Observations

• National Reference Station at Maria Island (includes CO2)

• Gliders • Benthic AUV • Acoustic receivers

IMOS 2014

Page 6: IMOS and the proposed Tassie Node - Introducing IMOS: IMOS ...imos.org.au/fileadmin/user_upload/shared/IMOS... · IMOS and the Tassie Node 2014 . Node Plan revised: Measured most

Annual Node day • The Maria Island CO2 Story (Tilbrook) • CPR Work in Eastern Australia (Davies) • AUV-based results for Tasmania (Barrett) • Global microbial observing systems (Bodrossy) • Comparing two semi-autonomous QC systems

(Matlab toolbox and Fuzzy logic) to an expert oceanographer (Lynch)

• A demonstration of the IMOS Ocean Current website and its features (Cahill)

IMOS 2014

Gliders: IMOS gliders on the route From 2013 to 2015

6 glider missions per year on this route

• Building capacity to assimilate these data in (near) real time.

• Underpin our hydrodynamic and biogeochemical modelling in this region

• High rate of mission success (glider and data recovery)

IMOS 2014

TasIMOS Gliders

• Have 2 IMOS gliders available

• Using the glider data to improve hydrodynamics

– Vertical structure was dramatically improved in model

– Data – model comparison shows the glider data is valuable to nudge ~ 90% of Storm Bay

TasIMOS acoustic receivers

AATAMS sub facility led by Jayson Semmens at UTas – 2 curtains

• Proposal from John Arnould at Deakin University to put in Bass Strait ‘gates’

CSIRO and UTas funded additional infrastructure Deployed in January 2012

Issues arising for IMOS: Temperature loggers on deployed acoustic receivers Receivers on glider!

OUTPUTS

Rapidly increasing number of outputs that link IMOS observations to impacts, some with global significance.

One of the reasons for this success is the co-

location of different types of observations.

Measured in at least one location in Tasmania. Spatial coverage is likely to be sub-optimal in Tasmania. Not measured and significance needs further consideration.

IMOS and the Tassie Node 2014

Node Plan revised: Measured most of the key variables but apparent weakness was appropriate spatial and temporal coverage Most obvious solution seemed to be adding more or different sensors to existing platforms (e.g. BIO-ARGO, slocum gliders or SOOP)

Conclusions

• The value of IMOS data streams is rapidly becoming widely recognized

• Still need to do some more work on demonstrating the value of these data streams to address issues of national and international significance

• uptake + impact = value

UPTAKE: other major initiatives planning to use IMOS data.

• TasWater – Estuarine Discharge – applied BGC modelling of Derwent, D’Entrecasteaux & Huon and Pittwater nested in Storm Bay model. Particular focus on fate and environmental impacts of STP point source loads. Models include hindcast, scenario and near real time implementations.

• FRDC - INFORMD Stage 2 – MSE of aquaculture activities mostly focussed on D’Entrecasteaux Channel; emulator based on BGC model nested in Storm Bay model. Particularly focussed on multiple use management of waterway.

• Victoria – model of local waters

Sub-Facility 11e:

Satellite Altimetry CAL/VAL: • Commenced operations in July 2010 under EIF funding. Primary aims are the provision

of sea surface height (SSH) bias, and bias drift data streams to the NASA/CNES OSTM/Jason-2 satellite mission team.

• The sub-facility operates sites in Bass Strait and Storm Bay where coastal moorings are deployed on the 6 month visit cycle (first deployment October 2010).

Bass Strait (depth ~52 m)

Storm Bay (depth ~96 m)

Burnie TG

Spring Bay TG

• Moorings are designed for precise measurement of SSH and include bottom pressure, temperature and salinity through the column.

• Storm Bay includes a WQM instrument with T, S, PAR, Fl.

• Provisioning and commissioning of the data streams are well on track (details in the SRS Facility talk by Edward King).

UPTAKE: other major initiatives planning to use IMOS data.

CSIRO Flagship WfO continues to invest in SE Tas as a region for the development of

improved models and instrumentation – for future national use New $3 million carbon cluster has provided significant funding of

University research to align with CSIRO activities in the coastal carbon science

e-reefs is using IMOS data Andreas Schiller as the lead CSIRO scientist WAMSI 2 Kimberley Node has commenced (~ $25million)

new IMOS investment in WA projects have explicit links to IMOS

Gliders • Have 1 IMOS glider in use

• Expecting a second

• Using the glider data to improve hydrodynamic models

– Vertical structure was dramatically improved in model

– Data – model comparison shows the glider data is valuable to nudge ~ 90% of Storm Bay

Page 30: IMOS and the proposed Tassie Node - Introducing IMOS: IMOS ...imos.org.au/fileadmin/user_upload/shared/IMOS... · IMOS and the Tassie Node 2014 . Node Plan revised: Measured most

Satellite Altimetry Cal/Val

Black: TOPEX/Jason Reference Missions Yellow: ENVISAT / SARAL Red/Pink: Sentinel 3A and 3B (Note shown: CryoSat-2 (ESA) or Hy-2A (China)

• Tasmania hosts the IMOS altimetry cal/val sub-facility, with moorings in Bass Strait and Storm Bay.

• Cal/val remains an important issue for altimetry mission teams – the international community are gearing up in prep for the launch of Jason-3 (fourth in the series of reference missions for sea level).

• IMOS Sub-facility well situated to make a contribution to the ESA Sentinel-3 altimeter validation team (launching 2014/15).

• The Tasmanian contributions to the mission science team continue to be well recognised and valued.
