Full description The Merchant Vessel Portland is a platform of the Ships of Opportunity (formerly known as Enhancement of Measurements on Ships of Opportunity (SOOP)) Facility. The vessel operates along the southern coast of Australia between Fremantle (WA) - Bunbury(WA) - Adelaide(SA) - Portland(VIC) - Melbourne(VIC).

This is a cargo ship (callsign VNAH ), 184 m length (beam - 28 m, draught - 11 m)

Bulk SST is measured by SBE48 hull contact sensor. The sensor is installed in engine compartment and its depth is varied from 2 to 8 meters (depending on loading of vessel). SST data (along with meteorological data from ship AWS) are instantaneous, collected every 3 hours.

The data are quality controlled by the Bureau of Meteorology. The daily data are available from the AODN shortly after 0000 UTC.

Notes Credit
Australia’s Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) is enabled by the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS). It is operated by a consortium of institutions as an unincorporated joint venture, with the University of Tasmania as Lead Agent.
