RV Investigator Voyage IN2025_V01 Underway (UWY) Data

This record describes the Underway (UWY) data collected from the Marine National Facility (MNF) RV Investigator voyage IN2025_V01, titled"Collaborative Australian Postgraduate Sea Training Network (CAPSTAN)." The voyage took place between March 08, 2025 and March 17, 2025 (AEST), departing from Hobart and returning to Hobart.

Standard Underway data is continuously recorded, consisting of:

(1) Navigation data (NAV): Latitude, Longitude, Speed, Heading, Course Over Ground, Gyros, and Doppler Log (dual GPS instrument).

(2) Thermosalinograph (TSG): Water Salinity, Flow-Rate, Temperature, Fluorescence, pCO2 and Optode/Oxygen.

(3) Atmospheric (MET): Humidity, Wind Speed and Direction (vane and ultrasonic), Radiometer/Sea Surface Temperature, Pyranometer/Solar Radiation, Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR), Air Temperature, Air Pressure, Rain, Ozone and Trace Gases (port and starboard instruments).

The quality-controlled RV Investigator underway meteorological and SST data are supplied to the IMOS AODN and other global data repositories and distributors, and made available for satellite SST validation by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BoM).

Near real-time, unprocessed data are available via the link "Visualisation tool for Underway Data."

This dataset has been processed (quality-controlled), and archived by the CSIRO National Collections and Marine Infrastructure (NCMI) Information and Data Centre (IDC). Data are available at time intervals of 5 sec (NetCDF format), 5 sec, 10 sec, 1 min and 5 min (ASCII format). Note: not all variables are quality controlled; please check for existing QC flags in the datasets. Additional information regarding this dataset is contained in the Voyage Summary and/or the Data Processing Reports for this voyage.
