The Integrated Marine Observing System - delivering data-streams to support marine research and applications

The Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) is funded by the Australian Government through the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) and the Education Investment Fund (EIF) to deliver data-streams from the Oceans around Australia. IMOS aims to meet the needs of the research community, address issues of national importance and contribute to international ocean observing programs. The strategic focus of IMOS is on the role of the oceans in the climate system, and the impact of major boundary currents on the continental shelf, ecosystems and biodiversity.
