Particulate matterSea Surface SalinitySea Surface TemperatureOcean surface stressPhytoplankton biomass and diversityHard coral cover and composition

This collection includes observations transmitted in near real-time from the National Reference Station moorings near Darwin, in the Northern Territory (NRSDAR), and near the Yongala Wreck, in the central Great Barrier Reef (NRSYON). The observations include meteorological parameters, radiation at the surface, waves, currents, and physical and biogeochemical properties of sea water. The National Reference Station network is designed to provide baseline information, at timescales relevant to human response, that is required to understand how large-scale, long-term change and variability in the global ocean are affecting the ecosystems of Australia's coastal seas. The stations are operated by the National Mooring Network (formerly known as the Australian National Mooring Network (ANMN)), a facility of the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS).
