Australian Ocean Data Network utilises Amazon Web Service Batch processing for gridded data

The Australian Ocean Data Network (AODN) is an interoperable online network of marine and climate data resources. It is a collaboration between six major Australian Commonwealth agencies, the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS), and a growing list of universities, state government offices and others organisations in Australia, New-Zealand and the Pacific. AODN data collections cover a large geographic area (from coast to open ocean, from equator to Antarctica), a wide range of observed parameters (physical, chemical, biological) and are obtained using a variety of platforms and technologies (e.g. ships, autonomous floats, gliders, moorings, satellites, animal tags, coastal radar. The end users include researchers, students, managers, policy makers, consultants, sailors and fishers. All data products contributed to the AODN are made freely and openly available to the public via the AODN Portal (https://portal. aodn.org.au/).
