IMOS National Reference Stations - Water Quality and Plankton Sampling

Regular monthly water sampling is undertaken at the nine National Reference Stations, part of the Australian National Mooring Network, around the Australian coastline. The main goals of the project are to: 1. Provide a record of physical, chemical and biological (plankton) changes in Australian coastal waters. 2. Record data as part of a larger comprehensive national dataset, comprising both continuous in-situ sampling and analysis of discrete physical, chemical and biological samples collected monthly. The project was funded by the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) and falls within the Coastal Monitoring Network Facility. Data storage and access is planned to be interoperable with other national and international programs through the IMOS Infrastructure. Data is available freely via the AODN portal: https://portal.aodn.org.au. Station metadata can be found through this resource. National Reference Station details are available at:IMOS National Reference Station - Station Details .. MarLIN Record Number: 9011People using these data should also consider historical data available from three of the National Reference Station sites:Maria Island Coastal Station Data 1944-2008 .. MarLIN Record Number: 4849 Port Hacking 100m Coastal Station Data 1953-2010 .. MarLIN Record Number: 5301 Rottnest Island Coastal Station Data 1951-2009 .. MarLIN Record Number: 4877

澳大利亚国家锚泊网络（Australian National Mooring Network）下辖的9个国家参考站，沿澳大利亚海岸线开展月度常规水体采样工作。本项目的核心目标为：1. 记录澳大利亚近岸海域物理、化学及生物（浮游生物）的变化动态；2. 作为全国综合性大型数据集的组成部分留存观测数据，该数据集涵盖原位连续采样，以及每月采集的离散物理、化学和生物样本的分析工作。本项目由综合海洋观测系统（Integrated Marine Observing System, IMOS）资助，隶属于近岸监测网络设施。数据存储与访问将通过IMOS基础设施，与其他国家及国际观测项目实现互操作。数据可通过澳大利亚海洋数据网络（Australian Ocean Data Network, AODN）门户https://portal.aodn.org.au免费获取。站点元数据可通过该资源查询，国家参考站详情可查阅：IMOS国家参考站——站点详情，MarLIN记录编号：9011。使用此类数据的用户还可参考以下3个国家参考站站点的历史数据：玛丽亚岛近岸站数据（1944-2008），MarLIN记录编号：4849；霍克港100米近岸站数据（1953-2010），MarLIN记录编号：5301；罗特内斯特岛近岸站数据（1951-2009），MarLIN记录编号：4877。
