IMOS - National Mooring Network Facility - Current velocity time-series

The National Mooring Network Facility (formerly known as the Australian National Mooring Network (ANMN)), is a series of national reference stations and regional moorings designed to monitor particular oceanographic phenomena in Australian coastal ocean waters. This collection contains time-series observations of current velocity from moorings deployed by the facility. The primary parameters are the zonal, meridional and vertical components of the current speed within different bins in the water column, the height above the instrument of each bin, the pressure (when available) and depth at the instrument. Temperature at the instrument is also usually measured. The observations were made using a range of Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) and Acoustic Doppler Current Meter (single point measurement) instruments. We are also producing a gridded product of sea water velocity time-series based on these data. These will be available in a separate collection.

国家锚定网络设施（前身为澳大利亚国家锚定网络（Australian National Mooring Network，ANMN））由一系列国家基准站与区域锚定浮标组成，旨在监测澳大利亚近岸海域的特定海洋学现象。本数据集包含该设施部署的锚定浮标所获取的海流速度时间序列观测数据。核心观测参数包括水柱内不同分层的海流速度纬向、经向与垂向分量、各分层距仪器的高度、仪器处的压力（如有）及水深。仪器处的海水温度通常也会被同步测量。本次观测采用多类声学多普勒流速剖面仪（Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler，ADCP）与声学多普勒单点海流计（单点位测量）设备完成。我们还将基于上述数据生成海流速度时间序列的网格化产品，该产品将通过独立数据集发布。
