This record describes the Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) data collected from the Marine National Facility RV Investigator voyage IN2019_V05, titled: "Integrated Marine Observing System: monitoring of East Australian Current property transports at 27 degrees South." The voyage took place between September 9 and September 29, 2019 departing from Brisbane (QLD) and arriving in Brisbane. Data for 28 deployments were acquired using the Sea-Bird SBE911 CTD #25, 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. A Biospherical PAR, Tritech Altimeter, C-Star Transmissometer, WET Labs CDOM, WET Labs ECO Scattering, and WET Labs ECO Chlorophyll sensor, were also installed 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 record describes the CTD data collected on Investigator voyage IN2023_V01, titled: "Antarctic Bottom Water Production in the past: Records from marine sediments, Cape Darnley, East Antarctica" The voyage took place between January 25 and March 2, 2023, departing from Henderson (WA) and returning to Hobart (TAS). Data for 6 CTD deployments were acquired using the Sea-Bird SBE9+V2 CTD unit #23 (S/N 1312), fitted with 36 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. Seven CTD casts were performed in total. Casts #1-4 were performed in the original planned survey area, while casts #5-7 were performed at the alternative opportunistic science location The collected data were processed (quality-controlled), and subsequently archived by the CSIRO National Collections and Marine Infrastructure (NCMI) Information and Data Centre (IDC). Additional information regarding this dataset may be contained in the Voyage Summary and the Data Processing Report.

This record describes the Underway (UWY) data collected from the Marine National Facility (MNF) RV Investigator Voyage IN2021_T01, titled "Transit Brisbane-Darwin." The voyage took place between June 12 and June 23, 2021 departing from Brisbane (QLD) and arriving in Darwin (NT). 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 where they are publicly available at the "Ships of Opportunity" Thredds server (http://thredds.aodn.org.au/thredds/catalog/IMOS/SOOP/SOOP-ASF/VLMJ_Investigator/catalog.html) for research. From there, they are downloaded by NOAA for their In Situ Quality Monitoring web site (iQUAM2) and made available for satellite SST validation. The SBE 38 SST data are used within the Australian Bureau of Meteorology for real-time satellite SST validation and ingested into real-time SST analyses which are then used as the boundary condition for Numerical Weather Prediction models. The meteorological and SST data are uploaded onto the Global Telecommunications System (GTS) for global dissemination to Meteorological Agencies, and separately supplied to the SAMOS (http://samos.coaps.fsu.edu/html/) Project for air-sea flux research. The real-time SBE 38 SST data are currently (2017) used in the following data products (accessed via the GTS): • International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set (ICOADS R3.0) (http://icoads.noaa.gov/) • NOAA NCEI Extended Reconstructed Sea Surface Temperature version 4 (ERSST.v4) (https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/data-access/marineocean-data/extended-reconstructed-sea-surface-temperature-ersst-v4) • Hadley Centre SST Data Set (HadSST3) (http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/hadobs/hadsst3/) • Global Ocean Surface Underway Data (GOSUD) Project (http://www.gosud.org/) • Bureau of Meteorology daily and weekly SST analyses (http://www.bom.gov.au/marine/sst.shtml) • NOAA NCEI “Reynolds” daily global OISST analysis (https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oisst) • NASA JPL “MUR” 1 km daily global SST analysis (https://mur.jpl.nasa.gov/) • UK Met Office “OSTIA” daily global SST analysis (http://ghrsst-pp.metoffice.com/pages/latest_analysis/ostia.html) • CMC daily global SST analysis • Ourocean “G1SST” global daily 1 km SST analysis (https://ourocean.jpl.nasa.gov/SST) As part of the underway data gathering system, other datasets are produced (e.g., pCO2, ISAR SST) which are processed separately and have their own metadata records. Data are recorded at 5 second intervals. Near real-time data are available via the link "Visualisation tool for Underway Data." This dataset has been processed and archived within the CSIRO National Collections and Marine Infrastructure (NCMI) Information and Data Centre (IDC) in Hobart (TAS). Data are available at time intervals of 5 sec (NetCDF format), 10 sec and 5 min (ASCII format).
