AIMS Data Centre
Providing online access to the AIMS Data Centre
What is the AIMS Data Centre?
The AIMS Data Centre is the place to obtain online access to AIMS data. A catalog of AIMS Data can be searched. Access to data can be gained using the catalog. A number of visualisation tools are also provided here for you to explore some of AIMS data. Ensure you try some of the visualisation tools and the mashups showing interesting events on the Great Barrier Reef.

The AIMS Data Catalog is now available. The catalog is a searchable database of descriptions of AIMS data holdings. In the coming months more data descriptions, often called metadata, will become available.
Feature Dataset
Reef Weather
AIMS has several weather stations located on the Great Barrier Reef. Data from these stations send data back to AIMS regularly. This data has been collected for nearly 20 years. All of this data is available using the Reef Weather visualisation tool. Using this tool, you are able to graph data from the weather stations and download the data. Unless there are problems with communications to the stations, the data are near real time.
Reef weather data form a key long term dataset for AIMS researchers. The data have uses in determining climate change and the effect this has on coral. There have been several coral bleaching events of the last decade and the data collected by these weather stations allows researchers to better understand these events.
The interactive visualisation tool can be found here.
