This record describes data from the The Proton Transfer Reaction Mass Spectrometer (PTR-MS) collected on the Marine National Facility RV Investigator Event voyage IN2015_E01. This was a trial voyage for the RV Investigator departing Hobart on the 29th January and returning to Hobart on the 18th of February, 2015. The Proton Transfer Reaction Mass Spectrometer (PTR-MS) is an online instrument which measures a wide range of atmospheric volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in real time, including dimethyl sulphide, isoprene, monoterpenes and a range of oxygenated VOCs.
This record describes data from the The time of flight aerosol chemical speciation monitor (ToF-ACSM) collected on the Marine National Facility RV Investigator Event voyage IN2015_E01. This was a cold-water trial voyage for the RV Investigator departing Hobart on the 29th January and returning to Hobart on the 18th of February, 2015. The ToF-ACSM was performed using instrument Aerodyne ToF-ACSM-009. It makes continuous online measurements of chemical composition and mass of non refractory submicron particles. Non refractory is defined here as any particle that volatilises at 600c. Composition analysis for particulate ammonium, nitrate, sulfate, chloride, and organic species. Separation and quantification of organic aerosol species including hydrocarbon-like organic aerosol(HOA) and oxygenated organic aerosol(OOA) which is linked to secondary aerosol sources(SOA). Calibration was carried out during installation on Ship in the air chemistry lab. Last calibration date: 27 Jan 2015.
This record describes the End of Voyage (EOV) archive from the Marine National Facility RV Investigator trial voyage IN2015_E01 - Cold Water Trial voyage (including Atmospherics). This voyage took place from Hobart to Hobart from the 29th January to 18th February 2015 and went to 65 degrees south. The voyage objectives included testing the cold water and atmospheric operations; the collection and processing of data and samples to test laboratories, facilities and on board systems; specific testing and checks of aerosol sampling mast, aerosol laboratory and air-chemistry laboratory. Geophysical Survey Mapping data collection, including instrument calibrations, testing of equipment and deployments of XBTs. Data Acquisition operations including the integration and test of underway instruments, new atmospheric instruments and drop keel instrumentation. Data collected included Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP)(75, 150 KHz), Underway (UWY), Gravity, SST Radiometer, Atmospheric data (Absorption Photometer, Nephelometer, Ozone and Radon), Greenhouse data (Aerodyne and Picarro), Underway pCO2, Echosounders (12, 18, 38, 70, 120, 200, 333, Bridge 200 KHz), Multibeam (EM122, EM710, ME70 and SBP120), Deep Towed Camera (DTC), Baited Remote Underwater Video System (BRUVS) and XBT. Additional Aerosol data collected included TSI 3772 Condensation Particle Counter (CPC), 3787, Time of flight aerosol chemical speciation monitor (ToF-ACSM), Cloud Condensation Nuclei Counter (CCN), Spectronus - trace gas analyser based on Fourier Transform Infrared spectrometry (FTIR), Long Scanning Mobility Particle Size (longSMPS), Nano Scanning Mobility Particle Size (nanoSMPS), Neutral Cluster Air Ion Spectrometer (NAIS), Proton Transfer Reaction Mass Spectrometer (PTR-MS), PTRMS_AUX, Radiosondes_balloons, Sequencer (SEQ) and Volatility Hygroscopicity Tandem Differential Mobility Analyser (VHTDMA). The EOV paper documentation - Multibeam (EM122, EM710, ME70 and SBP120), Gravity Meter and XBT logs are scanned, archived and entered in the records management system TRIM, reference "in2015_e01". ELOG files are generated as .csv and archived. All voyage documentation is archived c/o the Data Centre in Hobart available electronically to MNF support via the local network "global_docs". Access to voyage documentation for non CSIRO participants can be made via DataLibrariansOAMNF@csiro.au. The archive for the IN2015_E01 EOV data will be held temporarily within the CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere Data Centre in Hobart with a permanent archive to be located at the CSIRO Data Access Portal (DAP), providing access to participants and processors of the data collected on the Marine National Facility RV Investigator IN2015_E01.
This record describes the End of Voyage archive from the Marine National Facility (MNF) RV Investigator voyage IN2015_V01 titled "IMOS Southern Ocean Time Series Automated Moorings for Climate and Carbon Cycle Studies Southwest of Tasmania". This was the first research voyage for the RV Investigator. The voyage took place between the 21st and the 30th of March, 2015 (local time) departing from Hobart and sailing to the south-west of Tasmania (47 S, 142 E) and returning to Hobart. Routine data collected included Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) (75, 150 KHz), Underway (UWY), SST Radiometer, CTD, Hydrology, Atmospheric data including aerosol properties, particulates and composition, ozone and radon, Greenhouse gases data, Underway pCO2, Echosounders (38, 70, 120, 200, 333 KHz), Multibeam (EM122, EM710, ME70 and SBP120) and XBT. Additional atmospheric instruments used on this voyage included two Condensation Particle Counters (CPC), Time of Flight Aerosol Chemical Speciation Monitor (ToF-ACSM), Cloud Radar BASTA 95GHz, Cloud Condensation Nuclei Counter (CCN), Long Scanning Mobility Particle Size (longSMPS), Nano Scanning Mobility Particle Size (nanoSMPS), Old Scanning Mobility Particle Size (Old SMPS), Neutral Cluster Air Ion Spectrometer (NAIS), Proton Transfer Reaction Mass Spectrometer (PTR-MS), Volatile Organic Chemical Sequencer (VOC) and Mercury Vapour Analyser (Tekran unit). Three CTD casts to 2250m with temperature, salinity, oxygen, phytoplankton fluorescence, particle backscatter, and beam attenuation sensors were sampled at 24 depths for the analyses of nutrients, salinity, Dissolved Inorganic Carbon (DIC), alkalinity and dissolved oxygen. The top 6 depths (to 150m) were also analysed for particulate organic carbon and pigments. Additional underway samples were collected for particulate organic carbon, biogenic silica, spectroscopic and pigment analyses. The towed undulating CTD (TRIAXUS) with the ECO Triplet optical sensor, Laser Optical Plankton Counter (LOPC) and the newly mounted Submersible Ultraviolet Nitrate Analyser (SUNA) and Fluorescence Induction and Relaxation (FIRe) instruments was deployed. The SAZ-16 sediment trap mooring deployed in May 2013 was recovered. Three moorings for recovery in April 2016 were deployed: SOFS-5 air-sea flux, Pulse-11 biogeochemistry and the SAZ-17 sediment trap mooring. Three profiling floats were deployed: the Argo Hull 638i and Southern Ocean Carbon Cycling Observations and Modeling (SOCCOM) ID8514 and ID9315. The EOV paper documentation - Multibeam (EM122, EM710 and ME70 and SBP120), CTD and XBT logs were scanned, archived and entered in the records management system TRIM, reference "in2015_V01". ELOG files were generated as csv formatted files and archived. The TRIAXUS log book entries have been scanned and archived. All voyage documentation is archived c/o the Data Centre in Hobart available electronically to MNF support via the local network folder "global_docs".
