Darwin Current Oceanographic Data From July 2010

From 04 July 2010, ocean current data was collected by the Australian National Moorings Network (ANMN) as part of the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS). The data set was gathered by the ANMN sub-facility 'National Reference Systems' (NRS) and is managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network. The dataset was last updated on 18 April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing long-term ocean current patterns based on mooring observations mentioned in the description
• Modeling coastal ocean dynamics based on data from the National Reference Systems network
• Studying climate variability's impact on the Darwin Current based on time-series data collection
• Validating satellite-derived ocean current data based on in-situ mooring measurements

Strengths

• Data collection began on a specific date: 04 July 2010.
• Managed by the authoritative Australian Ocean Data Network.
• Part of the national-scale Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
