IMOS - ANMN New South Wales (NSW) Bateman's Marine Park 120m (BMP120) Mooring

The NSW Bateman's Marine Park 120m (BMP120) mooring is located at Latitude:36.213 S, Longitude:150.309 E. It was first deployed on 2011-03-29. \n\nIt is one of two moorings deployed near Narooma, southern NSW, to capture the variability of the shelf waters, poleward of the East Australian Current (EAC) separation point. The location, adjacent to Bateman's Marine Park (BMP), was chosen for its proximity to other IMOS activities (AATAMS line and AUV survey sites), the availability of suitable vessels for servicing, and to minimise the risk of mooring loss due to commercial fishing. \n\nInstrumentation, position in the water column and sampling regime are consistent with other NSW IMOS moorings. The mooring consists of AQUAtech 520T and 520PT AQUAloggers at nominal 8m spacing through the water column, sampling at 5 minute time intervals. Nominal heights above seabed of the instruments and quantities measured are: 6PT, 14T, 22T, 30T, 38PT, 46T, 54PT, 62T, 70T, 78T, 86PT, 94T, 102PT.\n\nThe BMP moorings are serviced every 6-8 weeks. This mooring was discontinued and removed in April 2014, it was redeployed again shortly afterwards through co-investment from Bega Valley Shire Council.

新南威尔士州贝特曼斯海洋公园120米级（BMP120）锚系浮标位于南纬36.213°、东经150.309°，于2011年3月29日完成首次布放。

本浮标为新南威尔士州南部纳鲁马附近布放的两座锚系浮标之一，旨在监测澳大利亚东海岸洋流（East Australian Current, EAC）分离点向极一侧陆架海域的水文变化。选址紧邻贝特曼斯海洋公园（BMP），主要考量包括：便于对接澳大利亚综合海洋观测系统（Integrated Marine Observing System, IMOS）的其他作业区域（AATAMS测线与自主水下航行器[Autonomous Underwater Vehicle, AUV]调查站点）、拥有适配的运维作业船舶资源，以及降低商业捕捞活动导致浮标丢失的风险。

本浮标的观测仪器配置、水层布设方案与采样规则，均与新南威尔士州其他IMOS锚系浮标保持统一标准。浮标在水柱中以标称8米的间距布设AQUAtech 520T与520PT型AQUAlogger采集设备，采样间隔为5分钟。各仪器距海床的标称高度及对应测量参数如下：6PT、14T、22T、30T、38PT、46PT、54PT、62T、70T、78T、86PT、94T、102PT。

BMP系列锚系浮标的常规运维周期为每6至8周一次。该浮标曾于2014年4月停用并回收，后由贝加谷郡议会（Bega Valley Shire Council）联合投资，于短期内完成重新布放。
