Typical time drift in a day is a few seconds.The clocks on all instruments are set each night at mid-night from a central server which is turn has its clock set off an NTP server. 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. There is a single metadata record for each research trip with the deployment details for each of the sensors that make up the underway sensor package 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.creator=Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) &rft.date=2026&rft.coverage=147.12818,-19.09106 147.23202,-18.73084 147.24502,-18.68024 147.2552,-18.63028 147.27056,-18.57724 147.29724,-18.4695 147.31562,-18.41776 147.33708,-18.36934 147.35112,-18.31644 147.3707,-18.27594 147.37868,-18.2741 147.37826,-18.27474 147.37868,-18.2741 147.37952,-18.27466 147.36684,-18.29542 147.35388,-18.31932 147.33698,-18.33964 147.32232,-18.3615 147.31676,-18.38694 147.31252,-18.41286 147.30082,-18.4634 147.30362,-18.48806 147.33622,-18.55912 147.34778,-18.58244 147.36074,-18.60536 147.37472,-18.62744 147.38982,-18.64954 147.4094,-18.6683 147.45154,-18.70304 147.49234,-18.7385 147.51616,-18.7527 147.56898,-18.76426 147.59586,-18.77106 147.61928,-18.81614 147.63462,-18.8284 147.12818,-19.09106 147.63462,-18.8284 147.61928,-18.81614 147.59586,-18.77106 147.56898,-18.76426 147.51616,-18.7527 147.49234,-18.7385 147.45154,-18.70304 147.4094,-18.6683 147.38982,-18.64954 147.37472,-18.62744 147.36074,-18.60536 147.34778,-18.58244 147.33622,-18.55912 147.30362,-18.48806 147.30082,-18.4634 147.31252,-18.41286 147.31676,-18.38694 147.32232,-18.3615 147.33698,-18.33964 147.35388,-18.31932 147.36684,-18.29542 147.37952,-18.27466 147.37868,-18.2741 147.37826,-18.27474 147.37868,-18.2741 147.3707,-18.27594 147.35112,-18.31644 147.33708,-18.36934 147.31562,-18.41776 147.29724,-18.4695 147.27056,-18.57724 147.2552,-18.63028 147.24502,-18.68024 147.23202,-18.73084 147.12818,-19.09106&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.
