CSIRO is a world leader in understanding the connection between oceans and climate, and develops observing and modelling systems that enable Australia to respond to climate variability and change.

Whether it's learning about  the daily behaviour of tuna or the changing circulation patterns of an entire ocean basin, marine observing technologies are essential for understanding our marine environment.

The CSIRO Network Theory Working Group is applying this area of Complex Systems Science to a number of real-world social, ecological and economic issues.

The CSIRO agent-based modelling working group (CABM) is applying this area of complex systems science to a number of real-world social, ecological and economic issues.

CSIRO's atmospheric scientists have extensive capabilities in measuring, monitoring and analysing air pollution, suggesting solutions for controlling the airborne particles that cause it.

CSIRO has invested significant resources in weather and climate science during the past decade to develop a new capacity to deliver forecasts that can be used as management tools in a range of markets.

CSIRO offers a service to calibrate oceanographic instrumentation (CTD) with a level of precision equal to the world’s best practice.

Using CSIRO’s wind tunnel facility, a calibration service is available to ensure the accuracy to national standards of most types of anemometers measuring wind speed.

The Australian Air Quality Forecasting System predicts daily levels of photochemical smog, atmospheric particles (including wind-blown dust and smoke) and 22 other pollutants.
