IMOS - ANMN South Australia Mooring Sub-Facility

南澳大利亚系泊子设施是澳大利亚国家系泊网络的一部分。<br/> <br/> 该子设施正在建立南澳大利亚州近海系泊和测量的国家参考样带，其中包括IMOS国家参考站(NRS)测量的所有参数。<br/> <br/> 南澳大利亚系泊子设施的总部设在阿德莱德的南澳大利亚研究和发展研究所，负责总共五个系泊设施。部署这些系泊设施是为了持续监测夏季期间沿该区域大陆架出现的大规模季节性沿海上升流。这种上升流将冰冷、营养丰富的水域带到了大陆架上，这提高了初级生产力，创造了澳大利亚水域最具生产力的沿海海洋生态系统之一。这五个系泊装置测量了一系列物理和生物特性，是四个区域系泊装置和一个国家参考站(在SAM5CB、SAM8SG、SAMGSV、SAMUSG和NRS进行生物采样)的组合。<br/> <br/> 区域系泊设施包括一个位于与NRS相同的等深线上并位于上升/下降交换路径上的陆架系泊设备，一个位于斯宾塞湾入海口附近的系泊设备，以测量冬季可能出现的富盐水外流，以及位于上斯宾塞海湾和圣文森海湾的两个系泊设备。NRS位于等深线的汇合点，监测上升流和外流事件以及沿海洋流强度的长期变化。<br/> <br/> 有六个停产的系泊设施曾经是这一分设施的一部分，至今仍有数据可用：M1深坡系泊(SAM1DS)和M6调查海峡系泊(SAM6IS)均于2009年停产，M4峡谷系泊(SAM4CY)和M2卷心菜补丁系泊(SAM2CP)均于2010年停产，M4中坡系泊(SAM3MS)和M7深坡系泊(SAM7DS)于2013-2014年停产。

The Southern Australia Moorings Sub-Facility is part of the Australian National Mooring Network.<br /> <br /> This sub-facility is establishing a national reference transect of moorings and measurements off South Australia, which includes all parameters measured by the IMOS National Reference Stations (NRS).<br /> <br /> The South Australia moorings sub-facility is based at the South Australian Research and Development Institute in Adelaide and is responsible for a total of five moorings. These moorings are deployed to continuously monitor the large seasonal coastal upwelling of water that occurs along the region's continental shelf during summer. This upwelling brings cold, nutrient rich waters onto the shelf which boosts primary productivity, creating one of the most productive coastal marine ecosystems in Australian waters. The five moorings measure an array of physical and biological properties and are a combination of four regional moorings and a National Reference Station (biological sampling at SAM5CB, SAM8SG, SAMGSV, SAMUSG and NRS).<br /> <br /> The regional moorings consist of one shelf mooring located on the same isobath as the NRS and in the path of the upwelled/downwelled exchange, a mooring located near the mouth of Spencer Gulf to measure possible winter outflow of saline rich water, and two moorings situated in Upper Spencer Gulf and Gulf St Vincent. The NRS is located at a convergence point of isobaths and monitors upwelling and outflow events as well as long-term variations in the strength of the coastal current.<br /> <br /> There are six discontinued moorings that were once part of this sub-facility, for which data is still available: M1 Deep Slope Mooring (SAM1DS) and M6 Investigator Strait Mooring (SAM6IS) were both discontinued in 2009, M4 Canyon Mooring (SAM4CY) and M2 Cabbage Patch Mooring (SAM2CP) were both discontinued in 2010, and M4 Mid-Slope Mooring (SAM3MS) and M7 Deep-Slope Mooring (SAM7DS) which were discontinued in 2013-2014.
