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 /> 该分设施正在南澳沿海建立一个系泊和测量的国家参考样带，其中包括国际海洋观测系统国家参考站测量的所有参数。<br /> <br /> 南澳系泊子设施位于阿德莱德的南澳研究与发展研究所，负责总共五个系泊。部署这些系泊设备是为了持续监测夏季期间沿着该区域大陆架出现的大规模季节性沿海涌升。这种上升流将寒冷、营养丰富的沃茨带到大陆架上，提高了初级生产力，创造了澳大利亚沃茨最具生产力的沿海海洋生态系统之一。这五个系泊设施测量一系列物理和生物特性，是四个区域系泊设施和一个国家基准站（在SAM 5CB、SAM 8 SG、SAMGSV、SAMUSG和NRS进行生物采样）的组合。<br /> <br /> 区域系泊设施包括位于与NRS相同等深线上的一个陆架系泊设施和位于上涌/下涌交换路径上的一个系泊设施，位于斯宾塞湾口附近的一个系泊设施，用于测量冬季可能流出的富盐水，以及位于上斯宾塞湾和圣文森特湾的两个系泊设施。NRS位于等深线的汇合点，监测上升流和外流事件以及沿岸流强度的长期变化。<br /> <br /> 有六个已停止使用的系泊设施曾经是该子设施的一部分，其数据仍然可用：M1深坡系泊（SAM 1DS）和M6调查员海峡系泊（SAM 6 IS）均于2009年停产，M4峡谷系泊（SAM 4CY）和M2卷心菜补丁系泊（SAM 2CP）均于2010年停产，以及2013-2014年停产的M4中坡系泊（SAM 3 MS）和M7深坡系泊（SAM 7 DS）。

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.
