Abstract
The Australian Integrated Marine Observing System
(IMOS) as a series of inter-connected and inter-related marine
observing infrastructure is designed to deliver data to address
five key areas considered important by the Australian marine
research community:
1) Multi-decadal ocean change
2) Climate variability and weather extremes
3) Major boundary currents and inter-basin flows
4) Continental shelf processes
5) Ecosystem Responses
Gaps in available observational technologies prevent the
"perfect" observation of any of the above phenomena, balancing
the acceptable loss of observational fidelity with the dollar cost of
observing requires knowledge or at least good estimates of the
physical system. New sensor technologies and platforms allow us
to revisit our observing strategies, and numerical methods based
on model analysis allow new insights into the representativeness
of our observations as part of an observing network.
