RV Investigator Voyage IN2026_V02 Hydrology Data

This record describes Hydrology (HYD) data collected from the Marine National Facility (MNF) RV Investigator voyage IN2026_V02, titled: "Quantifying the fine scale ocean dynamics of the Ningaloo Coast." The voyage took place between March 17, 2026 and April 17, 2026 (AEST), departing from Fremantle and returning to Fremantle.

Hydrology samples were collected from Niskin bottles sampled at various depths during Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) deployments. Parameters analysed were salinity, dissolved oxygen, phosphate, silicate, nitrate plus nitrite and ammonium.

This dataset has been processed (quality-controlled), and archived at the CSIRO National Collections and Marine Infrastructure (NCMI) Information and Data Centre (IDC) in Hobart. Additional information regarding this dataset is contained in the Voyage Report and Data Processing Report.

Report

Result

Explanation: Salinity and dissolved oxygen data quality are good. Nutrients analysed Silicate (SiO44- as Si), Phosphate (PO43- as P), Nitrate (NO3- as N) plus Nitrite (NO2- as N) referred to as NOx, Nitrite (NO2- as N) and Ammonium (NH4+ as N). Nutrient data quality is good; Japanese KANSO certified reference materials for silicate, phosphate, nitrate and nitrite in seawater (RMNS CO) was included with each analysis run to determine accuracy. QA/QC Nutrient data can be found in the data processing report. All data is GO-SHIP compliant. All data completed. Missing and anomalous data is flagged and noted with explanations in the data processing report (IN2026_V02_HYD_ProcessingReport.pdf).

Statement

Data source: original field data.

Nutrient samples were analysed using segmented flow SEAL AA500 and results are in unit of µmol/L. In-house methods: SOP 001, SOP 002, SOP 003 and SOP 004 were used to analyse nutrients.

Please cite the following paper when using Hydrochemistry data for silicate, phosphate, nitrate+nitrite (NOx) and nitrite analysis:

Rees, C., L. Pender, K. Sherrin, C. Schwanger, P. Hughes, S. Tibben, A. Marouchos, and M. Rayner. 2018. Methods for reproducible shipboard SFA nutrient measurement using RMNS and automated data processing. Limnol. Oceanogr: Methods. doi:10.1002/Iom3.10294

If publishing ammonium data, please cite the following:

Rees, C., Janssens, J., Sherrin, K., Hughes, P., Tibben, S., McMahon, M., McDonald, J., Camac, A., Schwanger, C. and Marouchos, A., (2021) “Method for Reproducible Shipboard Segmented Flow Analysis Ammonium Measurement Using an In-House Reference Material for Quality Control.” Frontiers in Marine Science, 8. doi:10.3389/fmars.2021.581901

Salinity samples were analysed using Guildline 8400B Autosal Lab Salinometer and OSIL software. The salinometer was calibrated with IAPSO standard seawater P168. In-house method SOP 006 was used to analyse salinity, units are Practical Salinity Unit (PSU).

Dissolved Oxygens were analysed using Scripps UV titrator and software, units measured in mL/L and converted to µmol/L. Dissolved oxygen was analysed using in-house method SOP 005.

All data was processed with HyPro 5.9.

Nutrient data decimal places within the CSV file; silicate is 1 decimal place, nitrite is 3 decimal places and NOx (nitrate + nitrite), phosphate and ammonium is 2 decimal places. Any concentration below the detection limit, including negative values, should be referred to as zero.

Oxygen Data is displayed to 3 decimal places. Salinity data is displayed to 4 decimal places.

Any essential data processing notes and parameters are described in Hydrochemistry data process report (IN2026_V02_HYD_ProcessingReport.pdf).
