Australia’s expanding maritime interests demand accurate and sustained ocean observations to support safety, security, and environmental management. This presentation explores how autonomous marine technologies – focusing on long endurance underwater gliders – are strengthening sovereign capability in ocean data collection....

Ocean surface currents impact many offshore operations. Quite often it is not just the speed and direction of the current that have the greatest impact, but how rapidly the currents vary in space and time. Up to now, spatial variations...

This study presents a framework for optimising ocean routes that combines the complementary strengths of forecast and hindcast data. Forecast products provide valuable guidance but are reliable for only about ten days—much shorter than the duration of an ocean crossing....

We present an update on efforts to develop a high quality ocean climatology region, building on the success of the original CARS product which was last updated more than a decade ago. Two related products are in production: 1) a...

Monitoring ocean warming in Australian regions is crucial for understanding extreme events such as marine heatwaves (MHW) and their ecological consequences. Recent advancements in satellite technology enable high-resolution monitoring of sea surface temperatures (SST), providing critical insights for research, climate modelling, and...
