IMOS - Deep Water Moorings - Southern Ocean Time Series (SOTS) Sub-Facility, Pulse 9 Mooring (July 2012 - May 2013)

The Pulse 9 mooring was deployed from 19 June 2012 to 10 May 2013 at Lat -46.85, Lon 142.40. Data are now available in netCDF format.Moored instruments are deployed by the Southern Ocean Time Series sub-facility for time-series observations of physical, biological, and chemical properties, in the Sub-Antarctic Zone southwest of Tasmania, with twice-yearly servicing. These time-series observations are crucial to resolving ecosystem processes that affect carbon cycling, ocean productivity and marine responses to climate variability and change, ocean acidification and other stresses.

Pulse 9号锚系观测装置（Pulse 9 mooring）于2012年6月19日至2013年5月10日在南纬46.85°、东经142.40°的海域布放，目前其数据以netCDF格式对外提供。该锚定观测仪器由南大洋时间序列分设施（Southern Ocean Time Series sub-facility）布放，用于在塔斯马尼亚西南侧的亚南极海域开展物理、生物与化学属性的时间序列观测，且每半年进行一次维护作业。此类时间序列观测对于解析影响碳循环、海洋生产力以及海洋对气候变率与变化、海洋酸化及其他胁迫因子的响应的生态系统过程至关重要。
