Description
Summary:Afterwards the guests viewed a display of observing tools including a mooring float, an acoustic receiver, an Argo float and a glider, as well as an interactive data display. The Tasmanian Integrated Marine Observing System (TasIMOS) was formed during 2010, and will take an integrated, whole-of-system approach to sustained observing and monitoring of the ocean around Tasmania. It will explicitly link oceanography and biogeochemistry with shelf and upper slope seabed ecology, food chain dynamics and the movement of key species. Data streams will be amplified through direct incorporation into oceanographic, biogeochemical and ecosystem models. TasIMOS activities will be supported by $2.5M of new funding from the Education Investment Fund. The Node is co-led by
