Abstract

The Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) was formed in 2007, with equipment deployed from 2008 onward. Scientific "nodes" were formed broadly around state boundaries to oversee the science planning for the deployment of instrumentation. Funding flowed through a series of 10 centrally coordinated infrastructure facilities, e.g., the facility for ocean radar. Each node is responsible for the design of its observing system (through a series of node science plans) to maximize the benefit of the observations to the scientific community. Overarching science goals are nationally unified with each node having identified additional local priorities. Here, we present the NSW-IMOS observing system as an exemplar for sustained ocean observing and scientific data uptake.
