Article Synopsis
- The Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) established a network of nine National Reference Stations (NRS) to enhance long-term observations in oceanography and ecosystems, especially in the Southern Hemisphere.
- This network builds upon historical water sampling that began in the 1940s and now uses advanced sensors to gather over 50 types of data, focusing on various oceanographic and biological parameters.
- The NRS facilitates consistent monitoring of ocean changes, helps study extreme events, and supports improved understanding of coastal ecosystems by providing extensive and publicly available data for long-term analysis.
Evidence of global climate change and rising sea surface temperatures (SSTs) is now well documented in the scientific literature. With corals already living close to their thermal maxima, increases in SSTs are of great concern for the survival of coral reefs. Cloud feedback processes may have the potential to constrain SSTs, serving to enforce an "ocean thermostat" and promoting the survival of coral reefs.
