This dataset contains the Hydrology (HYD) data collected on Southern Surveyor voyage SS 06/2003. The voyage took place in the Timor Sea, and Timor Strait during August 2003. This dataset has been processed and 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 (as available). Southern Surveyor on-voyage hydrology data are typically obtained from water samples collected in Niskin bottles at various depths during each CTD cast. Parameters measured normally comprise temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, phosphate, nitrate, silicate, and nitrite.

INSTANT: A New International Array to Measure the Indonesian Throughflow. The INSTANT field program (International Nusantara Stratification And Transport) began in August 2003 and consists of a 3-year deployment of an array of moorings and coastal pressure gauges that will directly measure sea level and full depth in situ velocity, temperature, and salinity of the ITF. For the first time, simultaneous, multipassage, multiyear measurements will be available, and allow the magnitude and properties of the interocean transport between the Pacific and Indian Oceans to be unambiguously known. The array will also provide an unprecedented data set revealing how this complex and fascinating region responds to local and remote forcing at many timescales never before well resolved. Moorings were located at the following locations: (115 45.48, 8 26.77) (115 53.77, 8 24.56) (122 58.36, 11 31.76) (122 57.40, 11 22.19) (122 51.5, 11 16.6) (122 46.8, 11 9.67) (125 32.26, 8 32.33) (125 2.26, 8 24.04)
