Maintenance and Update Frequency: irregular Statement: Currently the instrumentation is as follows: Yongala - Battelle Seaology pCO2 monitor, Aanderaa Oxygen Optode and a WETLabs WQM, and Maria Island, Wistari and Kangaroo Island have the following instrumentation - Battelle Seaology pCO2 monitor, Aanderaa Oxygen Optode and Sea-bird Electronics, model SBE16plus V2 SEACAT. Credit Australia's Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) is enabled by the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS). It is operated by a consortium of institutions as an unincorporated joint venture, with the University of Tasmania as Lead Agent.

The observations include CO2 concentration in air and water, surface water temperature and salinity. These data are based on pre-deployment calibrations and are automatically flagged using range checking, individual instrument error returns, and subsequent error propagation for the calculated parameters. The Acidification Moorings sub-facility is responsible for building an ocean carbon and acidification monitoring network for Australian waters. These moorings provide key observations to help us understand and address the problem of increasing ocean acidification. Each mooring is equipped with surface CO2 systems, using proven and robust technology. The hydrochemistry sampling at the National Reference Stations will also provide total alkalinity data, as will future pH sensors on the moorings, allowing for a complete determination of the carbonate system and pH. Acidification moorings are co-located at three National Reference ...
