    The Science Plan for WAMSI Node 1 Project 1 characterised the south west Australian marine coastal and shelf ecosystem structure and function. Mooring progam An array of instruments was deployed four times between July2007 and May 2008, recovered after 4-6 weeks each time to download data, and service the instruments. CTD Surveys During the course of the mooring program a ctd survey of the region was completed at approximately monthly intervals using the RV Linnaeus. In the first 2 surveys a grid of 25 stations was occupied after which a further 5 stations were added to the northern end of the grid.

  • [Refer to CTD Processing Report (CTDPR) to summarise for this section] This record describes the Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) data collected from the Marine National Facility RV Investigator voyage IN2015_C01, titled: "Great Australian Bight (GAB) deep water geological and benthic ecology program". The voyage took place from Hobart (TAS) to Port Lincoln (SA) between October 22 and November 28, 2015. Data for 16 deployments were acquired using the Sea-Bird SBE911 CTD 20, fitted with 36 twelve litre bottles on the rosette sampler. CSIRO-supplied calibration factors were used to compute the pressures and preliminary conductivity values. CSIRO-supplied calibrations were applied to the temperature data. The data were subjected to automated QC to remove spikes and out-of-range values. Cast 1 was a test down to 100m. Deployment 4 was aborted early due to winch issues. Deployment 7 was a test cast to examine winch issues. Data Spikes in casts 8 and 9 were likely due to the LISST particle size sensor which was attached to the CTD serial port for casts 7-9. A Rinko Oxygen sensor was used for casts 1-7, 10-15. A Chelsea turbidity, PAH, chlorophyll, and CDOM sensors, the Biospherical PAR sensor, Rinko III oxygen sensor, Franatech methane sensor, and a Tritech altimeter were also fitted on the auxiliary A/D channels of the CTD. The collected data were subsequently processed and archived within the CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere (O&A) Information and Data Centre (IDC) in Hobart. Additional information regarding this dataset may be contained in the Voyage Summary and the CTD Data Processing Report.

  • This dataset contains the Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) data collected using the towed Nacelle platform on Southern Surveyor voyage SS2011_v04. The voyage took place in Leeuwin Current off the West Australian coast from 25th August to the 13th September 2011. This dataset has been processed and archived within the CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research Data Centre in Hobart. Additional information regarding this dataset may be contained in the Voyage Summary and the Data Processing Report(as available).

  • This dataset contains the Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) data collected using the towed Nacelle platform on Southern Surveyor voyage SS2010_v05. The voyage took place along the West Australian Coast in the Leeuwin Current between the 6th July - 27th July 2010. The original Bunyip SeaSoar system was used on many oceanographic voyages of the RV Southern Surveyor until it was lost at sea in November 2009. Since the loss of SeaSoar a replacement instrument, the Nacelle, has been used. The nacelle includes a WETLabs ECO Triplet unit which internally logs fluorescence and backscatter. This dataset has been processed and archived within the CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research Data Centre in Hobart. Additional information regarding this dataset may be contained in the Voyage Summary and the Data Processing Report(as available).

  • This dataset contains the Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) data collected using the towed Nacelle platform on Southern Surveyor voyage SS2010_v06. The voyage took place along the continental shelf in the south-west region of the Western Australia coast. 29th July - 9th August 2010. This dataset has been processed and archived within the CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research Data Centre in Hobart. Additional information regarding this dataset may be contained in the Voyage Summary and the Data Processing Report(as available).

  • This record describes the Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) data collected from the Marine National Facility RV Investigator voyage IN2018_V05, titled: "How does a standing meander south-east of Tasmania brake the Antarctic Circumpolar Current?" The voyage took place from Hobart (TAS) to Hobart between October 16 and November 16, 2018. Data for 77 deployments were acquired using the Seabird SBE911 CTD unit 24, fitted with 36 twelve litre bottles on the rosette sampler. Samples were collected on all casts. Sea-Bird-supplied and CSIRO calibration factors were used to compute the pressures and preliminary conductivity, oxygen and temperature data. Automated QC was applied to the data to remove spikes and out-of-range values. A Biospherical photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), Wetlabs transmissometer and Chelsea fluorometer were installed on the auxiliary A/D channels of the CTD. Two altimeters, a serial IMU and the LADCP unit was also attached to the rosette for all casts. A high resolution magnetometer/accelerometer to assist processing the LADCP data was attached to the frame, supplied by the University of Columbia, it was logging internally and the data downloaded to the ~\in2018_v05\science\CTD\Magnetometer folder in the voyage record. The collected data were subsequently processed and archived within the CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere (O&A) Information and Data Centre (IDC) in Hobart. Additional information regarding this dataset may be contained in the Voyage Summary and the CTD Data Processing Report.

  • This record describes the Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) data collected from the Marine National Facility RV Investigator voyage IN2019_T02, titled: "Deep seascapes of the Great Barrier Reef: Uncovering submarine canyons and landslides." The voyage took place between October 4 and October 14, 2019 departing from Brisbane (QLD) and arriving in Darwin (NT). Data for 6 deployments were acquired using the Sea-Bird SBE911 CTD #24, fitted with 24 twelve litre bottles on the rosette sampler. Sea-Bird-supplied calibration factors were used to compute the pressures and preliminary conductivity values. CSIRO -supplied calibrations were applied to the temperature data. The data were subjected to automated QC to remove spikes and out-of-range values. The final conductivity calibration was based on a single deployment grouping. The final calibration from the primary sensor had a standard deviation (SD) of 0.001412 PSU, well within our target of ‘better than 0.002 PSU’. The standard product of 1 decibar binned averaged were produced using data from the primary sensors. The dissolved oxygen data calibration fit had a SD of 0.66564 µM. The agreement between the CTD and bottle data was good. Due to a cable fault, the primary temperature and Oxygen sensor data was interrupted for a short period on the down cast for deployments 3 and 4 affecting primary salinity data. Therefore calibrated and binned data for the secondary sensors have also been provided to complement the primary sensor data. Additional Biospherical PAR, Tritech Altimeter, C-Star Transmissometer, WET Labs CDOM, WET Labs ECO Scattering, and WET Labs ECO Chlorophyll sensor were fitted to the rosette and were present on all deployments. The collected data were subsequently processed and archived within the CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere (O&A) Information and Data Centre (IDC) in Hobart. Additional information regarding this dataset may be contained in the Voyage Summary and the CTD Data Processing Report.
