The location of all fixed equipment is recorded using a standard GPS so the accuracy should be within 5-10m using WGS-84. All mobile equipment has an on-board GPS and so should have equivalent accuracy although is will be around 10-20m due to the nature of the movement of the buoys. Instruments are replaced and serviced at regular intervals. Each change results in a new deployment. Multiple deployments have been merged and a single data 'channel' has been created for each sensor to make it easier to access and use the data. There is a single metadata record for each channel with the deployment details for the sensor that makes up the channel described in the metadata record. Data are quality controlled by validating against a set of rules (bounds checking, etc) and then flagged using the IODE set of flags.&rft.creator=Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) &rft.date=2025&rft.coverage=westlimit=151.96306; southlimit=-23.453; eastlimit=151.96306; northlimit=-23.453&rft.coverage=westlimit=151.96306; southlimit=-23.453; eastlimit=151.96306; northlimit=-23.453&rft.coverage=westlimit=151.94926; southlimit=-23.44347; eastlimit=151.94926; northlimit=-23.44347&rft.coverage=westlimit=151.94926; southlimit=-23.44347; eastlimit=151.94926; northlimit=-23.44347&rft.coverage=westlimit=151.96078; southlimit=-23.45797; eastlimit=151.96078; northlimit=-23.45797&rft.coverage=westlimit=151.96078; southlimit=-23.45797; eastlimit=151.96078; northlimit=-23.45797&rft.coverage=westlimit=151.97719; southlimit=-23.46297; eastlimit=151.97719; northlimit=-23.46297&rft.coverage=westlimit=151.97719; southlimit=-23.46297; eastlimit=151.97719; northlimit=-23.46297&rft.coverage=westlimit=151.9462; southlimit=-23.45319; eastlimit=151.9462; northlimit=-23.45319&rft.coverage=westlimit=151.9462; southlimit=-23.45319; eastlimit=151.9462; northlimit=-23.45319&rft.coverage=westlimit=151.93092; southlimit=-23.44713; eastlimit=151.93092; northlimit=-23.44713&rft.coverage=westlimit=151.93092; southlimit=-23.44713; eastlimit=151.93092; northlimit=-23.44713&rft.coverage=westlimit=151.98235; southlimit=-23.44475; eastlimit=151.98235; northlimit=-23.44475&rft.coverage=westlimit=151.98235; southlimit=-23.44475; eastlimit=151.98235; northlimit=-23.44475&rft.coverage=westlimit=151.94705; southlimit=-23.44807; eastlimit=151.94705; northlimit=-23.44807&rft.coverage=westlimit=151.94705; southlimit=-23.44807; eastlimit=151.94705; northlimit=-23.44807&rft.coverage=westlimit=151.97662; southlimit=-23.45794; eastlimit=151.97662; northlimit=-23.45794&rft.coverage=westlimit=151.97662; southlimit=-23.45794; eastlimit=151.97662; northlimit=-23.45794&rft.coverage=westlimit=151.9798; southlimit=-23.44003; eastlimit=151.9798; northlimit=-23.44003&rft.coverage=westlimit=151.9798; southlimit=-23.44003; eastlimit=151.9798; northlimit=-23.44003&rft.coverage=westlimit=151.96608; southlimit=-23.44709; eastlimit=151.96608; northlimit=-23.44709&rft.coverage=westlimit=151.96608; southlimit=-23.44709; eastlimit=151.96608; northlimit=-23.44709&rft.coverage=westlimit=151.98386; southlimit=-23.44822; eastlimit=151.98386; northlimit=-23.44822&rft.coverage=westlimit=151.98386; southlimit=-23.44822; eastlimit=151.98386; northlimit=-23.44822&rft.coverage=westlimit=151.9299; southlimit=-23.45878333333333; eastlimit=151.9299; northlimit=-23.45878333333333&rft.coverage=westlimit=151.9299; southlimit=-23.45878333333333; eastlimit=151.9299; northlimit=-23.45878333333333&rft_rights=Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Australia License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/au/&rft_rights=Use Limitation: All AIMS data, products and services are provided as is and AIMS does not warrant their fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement.
