This biological overview for the Southern Surveyor voyage SS 02/1999. The voyage took place in waters off Cape Grim and in the Southern Ocean during February 1999. This dataset has been partly processed and has not yet been archived within the CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research Data Centre in Hobart. Additional information regarding this dataset is contained in the cruise report for this voyage and/or the data processing report. On this cruise pigments and chlorophyll a were collected by (Unknown) and later processed at CMAR, Hobart by Pru Bonham. This cruise complements work done in the same region on Southern Surveyor in spring 1995 (SS 11/95), and on Aurora Australis in late summer, 1998.
This record describes data from the ATR-FTIR and Raman spectrometers collected on the Marine National Facility RV Investigator voyage IN2015_V01. This was a trial voyage for the RV Investigator departing Hobart on the 21st March and returning to Hobart on the 29th March, 2015. The PerkinElmer Spectrum 2 Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier Transform Infrared (ATR-FTIR)Spectrometer (serial # 99683) on loan from PerkinElmer Australia. The instrument acquires infrared spectra of thin samples such as phytoplankton deposits on filters. FTIR spectra: 144 spectra from 48 samples from 6 sites Calibration of the PerkinElmer instrument performed by the company prior to the voyage. The BaySpec Agility Raman spectrometer with 1064 nm excitation laser and fibre probe optics (serial # P1480093) owned by Monash University. The instrument acquires Raman spectra of phytoplankton deposits. Raman spectra: 72 spectra from 12 samples from 2 sites Calibration of the Monash University instrument last performed 26 February 2015.
