Workshop: Integrated Marine Observing System Data

Background

The Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS), an AU$100m 5-year project, is a distributed set of equipment and data-information services which collectively contribute to meeting the needs of marine climate research in Australia. The observing system provides data in the open oceans around Australia out to a few thousand kilometres as well as the coastal oceans. The data, a combination of near real-time and delayed mode, are made available to researchers through the electronic Marine Information Infrastructure (eMII). eMII utilises the Australian Academic Research Network (AARNET) and the Australian Research Collaboration Service (ARCS) to support a distributed database on OPeNDAP/THREDDS servers hosted by regional computing centres. IMOS data is freely available to all.

The workshop

The workshop will introduce researchers to the IMOS project and its present status, and demonstrate how the data is accessible, discoverable and down-loadable through a set of tutorial activities. Workshop attendees are encouraged to bring some ideas of their own for data they would like to discover and use. The objective of the workshop is to provide attendees with a thorough grasp of the IMOS project and ways of accessing its data.

Target audience

New postdoctoral researchers and PhD students.
