This dataset contains oceanographic data collected at a coastal station off Jervis Bay, New South Wales/A.C.T. (lat. 35 deg. 07 min. S, long. 150 deg. 52 min. E) between September 1958 and July 1960. The station was set up under the CSIRO coastal monitoring programme in the 1950s and was sampled on a few occasions only for temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen. Data from 1960 only are stored on-line as part of the CMR hydrology archive in Hobart. Additional copies of the data are deposited with the NODC data archive (World Data Centre-A) in the U.S.A., and details of relevant data files can be viewed via their website by requesting the file inventory for this coastal station which is NODC platform code "09F5". Station details, plus printed versions of the 1958 data, have been published in CSIRO's "Oceanographical Station List" series. NB - As the database has been lost, the only data still available are those published in the JERVIS BAY BASELINE STUDIES Final Report.
The O&A Marine Plankton Collection comprises of historical zooplankton samples collected between 1940 - 1996. The collection is housed at the EcoSciences Precinct, Dutton Park, QLD. The collection includes: (1) Phytoplankton and zooplankton samples collected by the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) Australian Continuous Plankton Recorder survey (AusCPR) (2) Zooplankton samples from the IMOS National Reference Stations program. (3) Detailed information regarding the plankton collection held at Dutton Park was added in August 2014 (refer to: Plankton_Historic_samples_ sorted_ by_AF_24_06_2014.xlsx). Note that this list is incomplete and is currently only a working list, as such it be updated regularly. Refer to document link below. The collection includes data collected by the following vessels: 1. Diamantina voyages 1959-1963: Indian Ocean, Western Australia, GAB, Jjakarta, Sumatra, North West, during 1970-1973 (1973 Freemantle to Hobart). 2. Derwent Hunter 1954-1961: South East Australia (1959-60), NSW coast (Port Stephens-Jervis Bay) and Tasman Sea (1960), Jervis Bay 1961, 3. Courageous (1978) 4. Gascoyne: 1962, SE Indian Ocean Coastal Station Data: 1. Port Hacking stations: 1959, 1968-1971 2. Batemans Bay 1959-1960, 3. Bermagui 1957-1960 4. Jervis Bay 1958-1960 4. Eden NSW: 1956-1960
The CMAR Hydrology data set includes data collected since 1942 during the voyages of Australia's Marine National Facility, and of various CSIRO marine research vessels and coastal stations. Hydrology data usually consists of salinity and nutrient values obtained by analysing water samples taken at several depths at each station. The data may include temperature for some depths, nutrients may include any or all of ammonia, nitrite, phosphate, nitrate, silicate, oxygen. Individual metadata records have been created for each research voyage. The data is held in the CMAR Data Warehouse, which currently holds over 45,000 Hydrology station records from more than 500 voyages.
