This publication series from CSIRO Fisheries (later CSIRO Fisheries and Oceanography) over the period 1951-1970 contains hydrological and (some) plankton data from Divisional and chartered research vessels, commercial fishing vessels and merchant ships, coastal stations, and some estuarine and onshore waters from the period 1938-1966, compiled under the direction of D.J. Rochford (to 1959) and later A.D. Crooks, among other contributors. Data presented includes measurements from the vessels "Warreen", "Derwent Hunter", "Weerutta", "Marelda", "Estelle Star", "Investigator", "Degei", "Lancelin" ""Queenborough", "Quickmatch", "Warrego", plus numerous commercial fishing vessels and merchant ships, from all regions of Australia plus observations from "Magga Dan" in Antarctic waters in 1959 (vol. 44). Vols. 1-3 deal with "Warreen" data from 1938-1950. Several volumes (5-7, 9-10, 12-13, 15-16, 21, 26, 29, 32) cover estuarine data from Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania from 1940-56. Other volumes cover hydrological stations at Port Hacking (vols. 34, 42, 47, 52, 81-86), Eden (vol. 35), Rottnest Island and Port Moresby (vol. 49), Port Jackson and Wollongong (vol. 87), and Maria Island (vol. 88), as well as numerous other stations sampled less intensively. A number of volumes cover fisheries hydrology in connection with Australian tuna fishing grounds in South Australia and New South Wales between 1960 and 1966. Plankton studies are mainly covered in vols. 1-3, 19 and 22-23. A few volumes also describe analyses of bottom deposits (vols. 13, 16) and drift bottle releases and recoveries (vols. 78-79). For more details, see the full list of titles available via the "documentation" link. Individual parts of this series will be described in separate metadata entries in due course.
This record describes the Underway (UWY) data collected from the Marine National Facility (MNF) RV Investigator voyage IN2016_V01 titled: "HEOBI: Heard Earth-Ocean-Biosphere Interactions". The voyage took place between the 7th January to 27th of February, 2016 departing Freemantle and returning to Hobart. Standard Underway data is continuously recorded consisting of: (1) NAV: Navigation data: (dual GPS) Latitude, Longitude, Speed, Heading, course over ground, Gyros, and Doppler Log. (2) TSG: Thermosalinograph: Water Salinity, flow-rate, Temperature, Fluorescence, and pCO2. (3) MET: Atmospheric (port and starboard): Humidity, Wind speed and direction (vane and ultrasonic), Radiometer, Pyranometer, PAR, Air temperature, Air pressure, Rain, Ozone and Trace gases. Data are recorded at 5 second intervals. Near real-time data is available via the link "Visualisation tool for Underway Data." This dataset has been processed and archived within the CSIRO Oceans & Atmosphere (O&A) Information and Data Centre (IDC) in Hobart. Data is available at time intervals of 5 sec (NetCDF format), 10 sec and 5 min (ASCII format). Additional information regarding this dataset is contained in the Cruise Summary Report and/or the Data Processing Report for this voyage.
This dataset contains hydrological and plankton data collected by FRV "Warreen" over the period May 1938-July 1942 in south-eastern Australian waters. Data included comprise depth, temperature, phosphate, nitrate, pH, dissolved oxygen and chlorinity readings, and the results of plankton net tows reported as abundances of crustacea (including krill and copepods), chaetognaths, coelenterates, fish eggs and larvae, mollusca and tunicates. Voyages in 1938-1939 were largely exploratory in nature, while those in 1940-1942 aimed at biannual sampling of specified transect lines ranging from Byron Bay to off Tasmania. Details of fish collections from these voyages were published elsewhere. "Warreen" was seconded for war work in September 1942 and this sequence of observations ceased. The data were published in 2 volumes of CSIRO's "Oceanographical Station List" series. Volume 1 of the published data is prefaced by a description of the "Warreen". Additional data was added in Dec 2010 with the digitization of the zooplankton records from the Warreen cruises of 1938-1942. This dataset includes surface zooplankton observations with synoptic oceanographic conditions.

This dataset contains hydrological and plankton data collected by FRV "Warreen" over the period February 1947-October 1950 in western and south-western Australian waters. Data included comprise depth, temperature, phosphate, nitrate, dissolved oxygen and chlorinity readings, and the results of plankton net tows reported as abundances of diatoms, crustacea (including krill and copepods), chaetognaths, coelenterates, fish eggs and larvae, mollusca and tunicates. These voyages were made while "Warreen" was stationed in Western Australia after returning from war duties and include voyage nos. 29 (July 1947) through 34 (April-June 1949) plus others of which details are not yet collated. Regions visited span the area from North West Cape to Albany and round into the Great Australian Bight. The data were published in a volume of CSIRO's "Oceanographical Station List" series.
The QuOTA project involved NOAA-IPRC and CMAR jointly undertaking to build a very high quality ocean thermal data archive by applying methods and expertise developed through the NOAA-IPRC/CMAR IOTA (Indian Ocean Thermal Archive) collaboration which was established in 1998. The Quota Project resulted in building a high quality upper ocean temperature dataset for the Indian Ocean and the South-western Pacific (east of the dateline). QuOTA contains ocean temperature data collected since 1778 and includes XBT, CT, CU, CTD, XCDT, MBT, BT, BA, DT, SST, TE, UO, bottle, drifting and moored bouy data. Quality control of the data is done by automated processes, followed by 'hand-QC' of data that fails the automated test. This results in a data set containing very little 'bad' data and any that remains is usually subtly faulty, having little impact on most analyses.
