Measurements on SOFS• Atmospheric
– Wind, temperature, humidity, pressure, radiation, rain (bulk fluxes of mass, heat, momentum)
• Wave – Motion Reference Unit (CSIRO design)– Captures 3-D buoy motion and orientation at 5 Hz– Proxy for waves– Measures last 10 minutes of each hour
• Ocean– Temperature (to 500m)– Salinity, pressure, PAR, sparse array– Currents (ADCP to 500m)– BGC at surface and 30-50m

MRU-Triaxis comparison
MRU and Triaxis wave package deployed on SOFS-2
• MRU is 0.15m larger than Triaxis • MRU is 3% larger than Triaxis• MRU overestimates the peaks

New Observations for wave-ocean mixing and currents
• Program to understand wave induced mixing in upper ocean (Babanin, Hemer, Ghantous, Schulz, Rapizo)
• New instruments on SOFS-4 (CSIRO & Swinburne)
• Vert. profile ~cm of u & v down ~1m, ADCP (Nortek Aquadopp 1 Mhz profiler) in buoy hull
• u & v point currents @30m (Nortek Aquadopp HR)
• 3-D currents @30 m (Nortek Vector)
• Frontier observations – what will we get?
