The eddy-resolving Ocean Forecasting Australia Model (OFAM) is used to downscale future climate projections by CSIRO Mk3.5 climate model under scenario A1B for the 2060s. A simulation run without relaxation and another run with relaxation to expected sea surface temperature and sea surface salinity are archived with 3D fields of ocean temperature, salinity, currents, and sea surface height.

The neutral density code comes as a package of MATLAB and/or FORTRAN routines which enable the user to fit neutral density surfaces to arbitrary hydrographic data. The FORTRAN implementation consists of a FORTRAN subroutine which labels a cast of hydrographic data with neutral density, and another subroutine which then finds the positions of specified neutral density surfaces within the water column. The MATLAB implementation consists of two MATLAB functions performing these same operations, only on sections of hydrographic data. Versions are available for Unix workstations running with the NETCDF data archiving library and PC's not running NETCDF. This latter code is suitable for compilation on Unix workstations or other machines not running the NETCDF library. The MATLAB version for the PC does not require compilation of the underlying FORTRAN code, unlike the UNIX version of the code. All code comes with documentation in the form of Readme files, as well as Makefiles and examples to provide check values for the user. This "in-house" CSIRO software is available under conditions which are attached with the software.

INSTANT: A New International Array to Measure the Indonesian Throughflow. The INSTANT field program (International Nusantara Stratification And Transport) began in August 2003 and consists of a 3-year deployment of an array of moorings and coastal pressure gauges that will directly measure sea level and full depth in situ velocity, temperature, and salinity of the ITF. For the first time, simultaneous, multipassage, multiyear measurements will be available, and allow the magnitude and properties of the interocean transport between the Pacific and Indian Oceans to be unambiguously known. The array will also provide an unprecedented data set revealing how this complex and fascinating region responds to local and remote forcing at many timescales never before well resolved. Moorings were located at the following locations: (115 45.48, 8 26.77) (115 53.77, 8 24.56) (122 58.36, 11 31.76) (122 57.40, 11 22.19) (122 51.5, 11 16.6) (122 46.8, 11 9.67) (125 32.26, 8 32.33) (125 2.26, 8 24.04)
