Beagle Gulf Mooring (NRSBEG) Automated Marine Weather And Oceanographic Station

The Beagle Gulf Surface Buoy was deployed from May 2015 to July, 2017. The nearby Darwin mooring (NRSDAR) provides ongoing observations in this region. Data recorded: Air Pressure, Air Temperature, Current, Depth, Dissolved Oxygen, Fluorescence, Humidity, Light, Rain, Salinity, Turbidity, Water Temperature, Wave and Wind Speed and Direction.The Beagle Gulf mooring extended seaward oceanographic observations from Darwin Harbour and complemented the National Reference Station located at Channel Marker Buoy#5. The mooring was upgraded to near real time in September 2014. Channel marker number 5 was removed in February 2015, resulting in the mooring being moved to Channel marker 1. For full instrumentation specifications see the informaition recorded for each deployment at link https://www.aims.gov.au/imosmoorings/The marine observing systems deliver the information needed to support the development and operational management of ports and harbours. Most ports and harbours are multi-use regions supporting industry and recreational activities, and observing systems play an important role in both port operations, and in generating understanding of processes that impact the sustainable use and development of these areas (e.g. sediment transport, water quality). Water current profiles and wave measurements directly assist shipping operations and feed into a model that seeks to evaluate impacts on the health of the harbour.The NRS Darwin mooring (IMOS platform code: NRSDAR), is one of 9 IMOS ANMN National Reference Stations (NRS) designed to monitor oceanographic phenomena in Australian coastal ocean waters. The NRSDAR buoy is deployed at Latitude: -12.3382, Longitude: 130.6952.The IMOS national reference stations will extend the number of long term time series observations in Australian coastal waters in terms of variables recorded both in their temporal distribution and geographical extent. It will also provide for biological, physical and chemical sampling and for 'ground truth' of remotely sensed observations.IMOS is an Australian Government initiative established under the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy and the Super Science Initiative and supported by Queensland and Western Australian State Governments.

比格尔湾（Beagle Gulf）表面浮标于2015年5月至2017年7月期间完成布放。附近的达尔文系泊观测站（NRSDAR）会对该区域开展持续性海洋观测。本次观测记录的参数包括：气压、气温、海流、水深、溶解氧、荧光强度、相对湿度、光照强度、降雨量、盐度、浊度、水温、波浪参数以及风速与风向。

比格尔湾系泊观测站拓展了达尔文港向海方向的海洋学观测覆盖范围，作为5号航标浮标处国家参考站（National Reference Station，简称NRS）的补充观测设施。该系泊站于2014年9月完成升级，实现近实时观测。5号航标于2015年2月被移除，因此该系泊站被迁移至1号航标位置。

海洋观测系统可为港口与海港的开发建设及运营管理提供核心数据支撑。多数港口与海港均为多功能复合区域，兼顾产业作业与休闲娱乐活动需求，观测系统不仅对港口日常运营至关重要，还有助于深入解析影响该区域可持续利用与发展的各类过程（例如泥沙输运、水质变化等）。

海流剖面与波浪测量数据可直接为航运作业提供决策支持，并被输入至用于评估港口生态健康影响的数值模型中。

达尔文国家参考站系泊观测站（IMOS平台编码：NRSDAR）是IMOS ANMN下属9个国家参考站（NRS）之一，其设计目标为监测澳大利亚近岸海域的各类海洋学现象。NRSDAR浮标的布放坐标为：纬度-12.3382，经度130.6952。

IMOS国家参考站将从观测变量的时间分布与地理覆盖范围两个维度，扩充澳大利亚近岸海域长期时间序列观测的站点数量与数据规模，同时可开展生物、物理与化学采样，并为遥感观测提供地面验证（ground truth）数据。

IMOS是澳大利亚政府依托国家协同研究基础设施战略与超级科学战略发起的国家级观测项目，并得到昆士兰州与西澳大利亚州政府的支持。
