On the basis of their resources, duration, data usage, collaboration and nationally significant operational outcomes, six of these projects were deemed major, namely AusCover tERN, BLUELink, iMOS, Joint Remote Sensing Research Centre, Numerical Weather Prediction, and Other Meteorological Research. These will be referred to as the CEODA-R&D Major Projects in subsequent sections of this report.

AusCover will produce and deliver free and open access to nationally consistent land-surface biophysical map products that are validated for Australian conditions. These will be derived from long-time series of satellite and airborne datasets and next generation remote sensing research data. 2.4.2 BLUELink This collaborative project between CSIRO, BoM and the Australian Navy is an operational oceanography system that can deliver ocean forecasts for coastal and marine industries. These forecasts provide day-to-
CONtEXt Of CEODA-R&D SURvEy day variations in coastal and ocean currents and eddies, and surface and subsurface ocean properties, that impact and are linked to maritime and commercial operations, defence applications, safety-at-sea, ecological sustainability, regional and global climate. BLUELink models are anticipated to generate a long-term, oceanbased climate monitoring system for primary producers. 2.4.3 IMOS The Integrated Marine Observing System is an NCRIS facility that coordinates ocean observations across Australia, with EO comprising the largest dataset. It assembles and delivers free and open access to national datasets for physical, chemical and biological variables relevant to marine and climate science through its IMOS Ocean Portal. The sub-facilities within the IMOS Remote Sensing Facility include Ocean Temperature, Ocean Colour, tOPEX/Jason Microwave Radiometer (tMR/JMR) Radar Altimetry, and data cataloguing. 2.4.4 Joint Remote Sensing Research Centre This Centre involves collaboration between the University of Queensland Centre for Spatial Environmental Research, Queensland Department of Environment and Resource Management, NSW Office of Environment and Heritage, and Victorian Department of Sustainability and Environment. It provides specialised training that supports research activities aimed at understanding the impacts that humans and climate have on the natural environment, and addresses research problems and long-term monitoring problems faced by the Queensland, NSW and Victorian governments in using satellite remote sensing for legislated activities. 2.4.5 Numerical Weather Prediction BoM has recently implemented a new computer forecasting program (ACCESS) that relies on a wide range of EO data sources to provide improved weather forecasting over the Australian region. Satellite data from 30 to 50 satellite instruments are received in near real-time and used to develop, test and deliver methods for determining current and future atmospheric and the surface state for weather and climate monitoring and prediction, numerical weather prediction and a large number of other applications of use to governments, NGOs and private industry. 2.4.6 Other Meteorological Research BoM also conducts research that is not directly related to numerical weather prediction, including monitoring short and long term condition of the atmosphere, oceans and vegetation. These include improved forecasting and nowcasting using additional information such as convective cloud development, rainfall measurement, cyclone positioning, and monitoring dust, drought, floods, fog, volcanic ash, short term forecasting of high impact weather, and grass curing status.
