ARGO Italy
ARGO-ITALY is the Italian component of a worldwide in situ global observing system, based on autonomous profiling floats, surface drifters, gliders and ship-of-opportunity measurements. It is primarily focused on the Italian seas, and the Mediterranean and Black seas, and includes observations of temperature, salinity, currents and other water mass properties. The ARGO-ITALY objective is to provide a significant and sustained Italian contribution to the global ocean monitoring.
ARGO-ITALY contributes to international programs such as Argo and Euro-Argo (global monitoring of water properties with profiling floats), GDP (Global Drifter Program to measure near-surface temperature and currents), EGO (gliding vehicles to measure water properties) and SOOP (Ship-Of-Opportunity Program to temperature profiles) have been developed to monitor the entire World Ocean on a long term basis.
ARGO-ITALY is a cost-effective long-term monitoring system that will be a unique source of information to study the role of the oceans, and the Mediterranean Sea in particular, on the climate system. It provides the data required by operational ocean monitoring systems in order to improve significantly extended forecasts of the atmosphere and oceans. ARGO-ITALY contributes to programs of operational oceanography, such as MOON (Mediterranean Operational Oceanography Network) and MyOcean (FP7 European project) and is essential for the production of marine core and downstream services products of GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment and Security). It is also an important component of GEOSS (Global Earth Observation System of Systems).

Australian National Mooring Network - Australia's Integrated Marine Observing System
The National Mooring Network is a collection of mooring arrays strategically positioned in Australian coastal waters. The National Mooring Network measures physical and biological parameters, and includes regional arrays of shelf moorings, acidification moorings, acoustic observatories and a network of National Reference Stations that include additional vessel-based sampling.
The National Reference Stations deliver long-term time series observations which are critical for defining key components of climate change and associated responses of ocean ecosystems. Currently seven NRS are in operation around Australia (Kangaroo Island, Yongala, Stradbroke Island, Darwin, Maria Island, Port Hacking and Rottnest Island), building on the three long-term locations (Maria Island, Rottnest Island and Port Hacking), where monthly water sampling for physical and biological parameters have been in operation since the 1940’s.
The IMOS shelf moorings are deployed in a wide range of configurations (cross shelf arrays, mooring pairs and single moorings), and are designed to characterise and monitor regional processes on the continental shelf. In some locations, shelf moorings are linked to Deep Water Arrays.
Acidification moorings are co-located at some National Reference Station sites to collect the full suite of parameters needed to characterise the concentration of acidification and provide key observations to help us understand and address the problem of increasing ocean acidification.
Acoustic Observatories, which ceased operations in December 2017 passively record sound from the ocean. The data, which is still available via the AODN Portal provide baseline data on ambient oceanic noise, detection of fish and mammal vocalisations linked to ocean productivity and the detection of underwater events.
The National Mooring Network consists of ten different Sub-Facilities.

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles - Australia's Integrated Marine Observing System
Autonomous Underwater Vehicles or AUVs are unmanned vehicles that operate independently and under their own power. While very large-scale surface processes can be easily addressed by both remote sensing and ship-borne systems, the characterization of seafloor processes is often unachievable by these traditional methods. AUVs are effective for rapid and cost-effective high-resolution, accurately geo-referenced and targeted acoustic imagery of the seafloor.
IMOS deploys AUVs in Australian waters to provide a critical link between oceanographic and benthic processes from both tropical and temperate reef environments, spanning the entire latitudinal range of Australia.
To support a more in-depth understanding of natural, climate change and human-induced variability in the shelf environments, the Autonomous Underwater Vehicles Facility operates an integrated benthic monitoring program collecting high-quality seafloor imagery and associated water column data using AUVs at sites around the country.

Beach Monitoring facility - Balearic Islands Coastal Ocean Observing and Forecasting System (ODIS id: 1213)
Beach Monitoring facility - Balearic Islands Coastal Ocean Observing and Forecasting System
Coastal systems are sensitive environments where many processes operate at different space-time scales acting nonlinearly. Understanding nearshore processes and the response of coastal systems at all these scales is increasingly important because beaches are the first barrier in front of coastal flooding and, also, because of their economic and social relevance in terms of tourism economy and outdoor recreation. Additionally, the increased threat of global warming and the resulting rise in sea level may accelerate coastal erosion problems.
Beach Monitoring Facility products consist of real-time data on beach images and weather variables, as well as periodic information on waves, sediments and beach morphology.
A continuous, large and high-resolution dataset on coastline evolution, nearshore waves and currents, sediments and beach bathymetry is a key issue in order to characterize and manage coastal systems properly. The aim of the Marine and Terrestrial Beach Monitoring Facility is to contribute to this issue by means of the Modular Beach Integral Monitoring System (MOBIMS), which consists of a video-monitoring system, an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) and a programme of bathymetric and sediment sampling.
Coastal videomonitoring allows the autonomous and sustained collection, analysis and storage of high-resolution digital pictures, that are then used to observe and quantify a wide range of coastal phenomena. MOBIMS at SOCIB incorporates the SIRENA coastal imaging system developed at the Mediterranean Institute for Advanced Studies, IMEDEA (CSIC-UIB).

National Program to make available, in near real-time, to the community of stakeholders, meteorological and oceanographic data, obtained in the oceanic areas of interest in Brazil. The South Atlantic and tropical Ocean is an oceanic region with an enormous lack of data. In the maritime area under which Brazil has the responsibility to generate and disseminate meteorological products, according to the International Convention for the Safety of Human Life at Sea (SOLAS), the situation is still precarious. The data collection network is restricted to some points located on islands, to sporadic measurements made by Brazilian Navy ships and voluntary merchant ships. Thus, the data is restricted to a few navigation routes that cross the South Atlantic and tropical ocean or limited to the reception of data collected by a few drift buoys. The densification of the meteorological and oceanographic data collection network, through this Project, will characterize the first Brazilian initiative, at national level, for operational monitoring, whose information will be essential for the improvement of the marine and climatological meteorological forecast over the Ocean region. South Atlantic and tropical.

Data is received via satellites through the Argos system. The Argos program is administered jointly by the American agency, NOAA, and the French agency, CNES. This system is mounted on board the NOAA series satellites that operate in polar orbit. The data is downloaded in Toulouse, France and is made available on the GTS system. Alternatively, these data reach the CHM through INMET. The same data has also been captured directly in Brazil through satellites SCD 1 and 2 and CBERS and is made available to CHM, via FTP, by the DSA of CPTEC / INPE.

Canary Islands Integrated Marine Data Repository
REDMIC (the Canary Islands Integrated Marine Data Repository, acronym in Spanish) is a permanent systematic system for the storage, safeguard and service of marine data, following the philosophy behind OpenData and OpenScience. It was specifically designed for the Canary Islands and, by extension, Macaronesia. However, it has been approached as a pilot project with the intention of reapplying it to other regions and, overtime, using it to manage a public repository as a registry for marine data.
REDMIC is different to others in that marine data of whatever kind (maritime transport, oceanography, biodiversity, fisheries, etc.) are introduced in an integrated manner in the same system of geographical information. Therefore, the effort to gather all data is only made once at the beginning, so they can be used and combined as often as necessary with the utmost speed. REDMIC is inspired by the following principles: Exploitability: facilitating the successive use of data. Generavity: storing data by maximising its potential of use.
Traceability: providing data related to how the original data were obtained and allowing the knowledge of its modifications.
Publicity: publicly funded system for the safeguard, harmonisation and service of data. Versality: allowing for its use as a general repository (all kinds of data) or as an institutional repository (limited to a sort of information or product).

Coastal marine observatory site Gulf of Trieste (ODIS id: 387)
For long term monitoring of ecological and oceanographic processes in the northernmost part of the Adriatic Sea at border of Area Marina Protetta di Miramare.
MAMBO Buoy (Monitoraggio AMBientale Operativo == ENVironmental Operative Monitoring) - History of the time series. Mambo buoy was the first weather-marine coastal station installed in the northern Adriatic, able to detect the main meteorological and oceanographic parameters in near rela time.
Launched in September 1998, MAMBO has been operational since January 1999; it is anchored at a depth of about 17 m, at outer limit of the Marine Protected Area of Miramare, in the Gulf of Trieste, in the northernmost part of the Adriatic Sea (45° 41'95" N and 13° 42'99" E); it is part of the Adriatic Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) site, together with biological time-series C1.
The system was developed by OGS (at time Osservatorio Geofisico Sperimentale), at the request of WWF and of the Marine Protected Area of Miramamare, and took advantage of previous experiences of measurement and design in the Sicilian Channel and in the Gulf of Trieste.
Over the years, there have been several imodifications in the configuration of the acquisition system; they are summarized in the technical details.
It should be highlighted that, from 1999 to 2004, the sensors for the determination of the temperature, conductivity, pressure, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, pH, and chlorophyll have operated in profiliyng mode, by performing a vertical profile along the water column every three hours.
Since 2005, however, the sensors for the hydrological properties have acquired data at a constant depth, initially at 10 m, and later also at 2 and 15 m in depth.
The MAMBO-1 buoy of Miramare has also served as a testing laboratory for other buoys, variously configured, still working even for Civil Protection of Friuli Venezia Giulia.

Coastal Zone Management Unit Barbados: Buoys
As one of the outputs of the Coastal Risk Assessment and Management Programme (CRMP) the CZMU has installed three oceanographic buoys along the south, east and north coasts of Barbados (see map below). The buoys are located in deep water (>80 m) and will provide the CZMU with data required to accurately model how open ocean waves and currents translate to the wave and current patterns observed in the nearshore region. This increased knowledge will enable the Unit to better understand beach erosion and accretion trends, and enhance the effectiveness of beach protection/restoration interventions in the future.
The parameters being captured by these buoys include wave height and direction, current speed and direction, wind speed and direction, and seawater temperature.
Data from 3 buoys can be visualized online.
