Sea surface temperature data, in DISIMP images, from NOAA Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) data received at Australian Stations including ACRES (Alice Springs), WASTAC (Perth), Australian Institute of Marine Science (Townsville), CSIRO Marine Laboratories (Hobart), CSIRO Atmospheric Research (Melbourne) and Bureau of Meteorology (Darwin). Potentially overlapping data from each station was consolidated ("stitched") into a single, Australia-wide image per satellite overpass by the CSIRO/Earth Observation Centre, from various NOAA satellites with both day and night passes. Data spans from October 1993 to June 2003. SST is calculated using the NLSST (non-linear SST) algorithm or the split window (McMillin) algorithm. The images cover the Australian continent and surrounding oceans. The data are contained on magnetic tape in Hobart.

This database, named "Biodata", contains biological and station data from cruises of Divisional research vessels "Courageous" and "Soela" between February 1978 and April 1989, and also some data from "Sprightly" for the period August 1979-May 1980, and the chartered vessel "Jacqueline D" from August 1986-November 1988 in Albatross Bay, Gulf of Carpentaria. The data were originally stored within a special section of the AFZIS (Australian Fishing Zone Information System) database in Canberra, developed jointly by CSIRO Division of Fisheries Research and Department of Primary Industry (DPI), and were retrieved before the DPI Cyber computer was decommissioned. Data from Soela cruises for 1985, 1986, and the first 6 cruises of 1987 are not represented in this dataset. Information held comprises vessel, cruise and station identifiers, and details for 3,000 (+) operations including date, time, latitude, longitude, operation type, gear type, trawl details, surface temperature and salinity where measured, fishing effort and catch by species, and length-frequency data where recorded. The data are presently in an Oracle database in Hobart.

This dataset contains data on fish distributions and occurrences from Jervis Bay, NSW. The data were obtained from sandy beaches around Jervis Bay between October 1988 and July 1991. Beach seine and beam trawl surveys were conducted every 3 months for 3 years. Taxa identified comprised 97 fish species (including 41 species sought by commercial or recreational fishermen and 12 species classified as baitfish) and 14 invertebrate species. Baitfish (predominantly small, schooling species) made up 94% of the total fish catch, and valued fish 6%. Environmental correlations (including water temperature, salinity, waves, clarity, light wind and time of day were examined for various types of fish and invertebrates, and two common fish species Myxus elongatus and Sillago ciliata in particular. The Jervis Bay sandy beach faunas were compared with those over Posidonia beds and in nearby creeks, and with other beaches in Port Hacking and Batemans Bay. NB - As the database has been lost, the only data still available are those published in the JERVIS BAY BASELINE STUDIES Final Report.

The CSIRO Mk 3.0 climate system model contains a comprehensive representation of the four major components of the climate system (atmosphere, land surface, oceans and sea-ice). There are a simulations for a range of scenarios available for this model and also for the later CSIRO Mk 3.5 model. This simulation uses scenario PIcntrl which represents a Pre-industrial control experiment. This is a standard experiment for model intercomparisons. The scenario includes standard daily and monthly meteorological, and monthly oceanographic variables as netCDF files organised by variable and time period, totalling 4020 files. The data are accessible to authorised users via an OpenDAP server at CSIRO HPSC, and also from PCMDI in the U.S.A. It is also a contribution to the WCRP CMIP3 multi-model database and meets their formatting standards.
