IMOS - Satellite Remote Sensing (SRS) facility

The aim of the Satellite Remote Sensing (SRS) facility is to provide access to a range of satellite derived marine data products covering the Australian region.\n\nThe SRS has established a new X-Band reception facility at the Australian Institute of Marine Research near Townsville and upgraded the Tasmanian Earth Resource Satellite Station near Hobart. \n\nThese stations and facilities in Perth, Melbourne, Alice Springs and Darwin form a network supplying the SRS with near real-time data. These data are combined and processed to a number of products which are placed on disk storage systems in Melbourne, Canberra and Perth.\n\nThe Bureau of Meteorology has developed a sea surface temperature (SST) product in GHRSST-PP (www.ghrsst-pp.org) L3P format. The Bureau is developing some other SST products including daily and skin SSTs.\nThese new products and some ¿ocean colour¿ products from MODIS will gradually become available.\n\nScientific users can access these data products are available through OPeNDAP and THREDDS supported technology and also through interfaces provided by eMII and the SRS (www.imos.org.au and www.imos.org.au/srs).

卫星遥感（Satellite Remote Sensing, SRS）设施的目标是为覆盖澳大利亚区域的一系列卫星衍生海洋数据产品提供访问途径。

SRS已在汤斯维尔附近的澳大利亚海洋研究所建立了新的X波段接收设施，并升级了霍巴特附近的塔斯马尼亚地球资源卫星站。

这些站点以及位于珀斯、墨尔本、爱丽丝泉和达尔文的设施构成了一个网络，为SRS提供近实时数据。这些数据经过整合与处理，生成多种产品，并存储于墨尔本、堪培拉和珀斯的磁盘存储系统中。

澳大利亚气象局（Bureau of Meteorology）已开发出采用GHRSST-PP（www.ghrsst-pp.org）L3P格式的海表温度（sea surface temperature, SST）产品。该局正在开发其他一些SST产品，包括日尺度SST和表层SST。这些新产品以及来自MODIS的部分“海洋水色”产品将逐步开放使用。

科研用户可通过OPeNDAP和THREDDS支持的技术，以及eMII和SRS提供的接口（网址：www.imos.org.au及www.imos.org.au/srs）访问这些数据产品。
