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=146.93294,-19.20504 147.17318,-19.07442 147.31636,-18.9897 147.51656,-18.88316 147.56682,-18.85582 147.61696,-18.82708 147.63448,-18.82956 147.6348,-18.82862 147.6227,-18.82064 147.57068,-18.8029 147.51784,-18.7822 147.38582,-18.7401 147.35474,-18.73466 147.3093,-18.71972 147.21074,-18.67804 147.10628,-18.63606 147.08668,-18.6263 147.08614,-18.62666 147.08748,-18.62722 147.07048,-18.6491 147.0436,-18.65008 147.04298,-18.65068 147.04468,-18.6546 147.04604,-18.64938 147.0466,-18.65122 147.03052,-18.65306 147.00284,-18.64928 146.89338,-18.62972 146.67876,-18.5993 146.62586,-18.59024 146.5992,-18.58664 146.52044,-18.57082 146.49474,-18.56714 146.47672,-18.5779 146.48224,-18.60474 146.48344,-18.60594 146.48128,-18.60726 146.47544,-18.63372 146.45366,-18.75374 146.44252,-18.80974 146.43518,-18.81984 146.48398,-18.86796 146.52846,-18.90818 146.55018,-18.92894 146.59164,-18.97252 146.61302,-18.99314 146.65804,-19.03268 146.6788,-19.05328 146.7417,-19.12134 146.7752,-19.15214 146.81762,-19.19366 146.93294,-19.20504 146.81762,-19.19366 146.7752,-19.15214 146.7417,-19.12134 146.6788,-19.05328 146.65804,-19.03268 146.61302,-18.99314 146.59164,-18.97252 146.55018,-18.92894 146.52846,-18.90818 146.48398,-18.86796 146.43518,-18.81984 146.44252,-18.80974 146.45366,-18.75374 146.47544,-18.63372 146.48128,-18.60726 146.48344,-18.60594 146.48224,-18.60474 146.47672,-18.5779 146.49474,-18.56714 146.52044,-18.57082 146.5992,-18.58664 146.62586,-18.59024 146.67876,-18.5993 146.89338,-18.62972 147.00284,-18.64928 147.03052,-18.65306 147.0466,-18.65122 147.04604,-18.64938 147.04468,-18.6546 147.04298,-18.65068 147.0436,-18.65008 147.07048,-18.6491 147.08748,-18.62722 147.08614,-18.62666 147.08668,-18.6263 147.10628,-18.63606 147.21074,-18.67804 147.3093,-18.71972 147.35474,-18.73466 147.38582,-18.7401 147.51784,-18.7822 147.57068,-18.8029 147.6227,-18.82064 147.6348,-18.82862 147.63448,-18.82956 147.61696,-18.82708 147.56682,-18.85582 147.51656,-18.88316 147.31636,-18.9897 147.17318,-19.07442 146.93294,-19.20504&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.
