This data set contains Simrad EK500 single beam echosounder data at 38 and 120 kHz and Simrad EA500 single beam echosounder data at 12 kHz from the Southern Surveyor. The EK500 data is primarily for water column characterisation (fish stocks, microplankton distribution) and on occasions for seabed classification (particularly prior to the EM300 swath mapper being installed), while the EA500 data is primarily for bathymetric readings.
This dataset contains the Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) data collected on Southern Surveyor voyage SS 09/2008.The voyage took place off the Queensland coast between 24th July and 11th August 2008. This dataset has been processed and archived within the CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research Data Centre in Hobart. Additional information regarding this dataset may be contained in the Voyage Summary and the Data Processing Report (as available).
This record contains data collected on the AIMS vessel RV Lady Basten between 5 and 13 June 2002. Parameters measured are the concentration of chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments and retrieved chlorophyll a estimate. 9 stations were sampled. This cruise was used primarily to validate ocean colour sensors MERIS, MODIS and SeaWIFS and the SST sensor AATSR. Samples were collected for pigments, total suspended solids (TSS) and absorption coefficient- dissolved and particulate.
This record contains data collected on the charter vessel RV Lady Basten between 23 and 28 August 2005 in the Great Barrier Reef. The data can be used for Ocean Colour sensor validation. Parameters measured are the concentration of chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments and retrieved chlorophyll a estimate, the absorption coefficient for dissolved (aCDOM) particulate (a/p) and detrital or non-algal (a/d) components of the water column. 20 stations were sampled. The data was used primarily to validate ocean colour sensors MERIS, MODIS and SeaWIFs and the SST sensor AATSR. Samples were collected and analysed for pigments, total suspended solids (TSS) and dissolved and particulate absorption coefficients. CLW deployed instruments RAMSES, ac-9, Hydroscat and Hydrorad.
This record contains data collected on the charter vessel RV Lady Basten between 16 and 21 September 2005 in the Great Barrier Reef. The data can be used for Ocean Colour sensor validation. Parameters measured are the concentration of chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments , the absorption coefficient for dissolved (aCDOM) particulate (ap) and detrital or non-algal (ad) components of the water column and the total suspended matter. 32 stations were sampled. The data was used primarily to validate ocean colour sensors MERIS, MODIS and SeaWIFs . CLW deployed instruments RAMSES, ac-9 and Hydroscat.
This record contains data collected on the AIMS vessel RV James Kirby between 17 and 23 April 2008 in the Great Barrier Reef. The data can be used for Ocean Colour sensor validation. Parameters measured are the concentration of chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments and retrieved chlorophyll a estimate, the absorption coefficient for dissolved (CDOM) particulate (a/p) and detrital or non-algal (a/d) components of the water column. 20 stations were sampled. The data was used primarily to validate ocean colour sensors MERIS, MODIS and SeaWIFs and the SST sensor AATSR. Samples were collected and analysed for pigments, total suspended solids (TSS) and absorption coefficient, dissolved and particulate. CLW deployed instruments RAMSES, AC-9, Hydroscat and Hydrorad.
This record contains data collected on the vessel James Kirby between 19 and 26 September 2007 in the Great Barrier Reef. The data can be used for Ocean Colour sensor validation. Parameters measured are the concentration of chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments, the absorption coefficient for dissolved (CDOM), particulate (ap) and detrital or non-algal (ad) components of the water column and total suspended matter (TSM). 23 stations were sampled. The data was used primarily to validate ocean colour sensors MERIS, MODIS and SeaWIFs. CLW deployed instruments RAMSES, AC-9,and Hydroscat.
