    This record is an overview entry for biological data collected on Diamantina cruise Dm 1/62. This cruise took place in the northeast Indian Ocean, Banda Sea and Java Sea during 12 February to 25 March 1962, under the leadership of B. Newell & D. Rochford. Biological data collected on this cruise include primary production rates; organisms with/without chlorophyll, total particles and occurrence of dinoflagellates from phytoplankton stations; pigment samples; and zooplankton biomass. Please note: This metadata record is a preliminary entry derived from information in the cruise report. Individual data types - which may span several cruises - will be indexed separately within this metadata system in due course.

    This dataset contains temperature data from the TOGA/WOCE transect PX2 across the Banda, Java and Flores Seas. Data have been collected since May 1983 and are ongoing. The transect is repeated approximately twice a month. Profiles are obtained approximately every 60km (a 1 degree latitude / 1.5 degree longitude grid). The data are obtained from XBTs (expendable bathythermographs) deployed via the Ship-of-Opportunity Program (SOOP) of the IOC/WMO Integrated Global Ocean Services System (IGOSS), and are now managed by the Joint Australian Facility for Ocean Observing Systems (JAFOOS), a collaborative venture between CSIRO Marine Research and the Bureau of Meteorology Research Centre (BMRC).

    This dataset contains the processed Hydrology (HYD) data collected on Diamantina voyage Dm 1/62. The voyage took place in the northeast Indian Ocean, Banda Sea and Java Sea during 12 February to 25 March 1962. This dataset has been processed and is 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). Diamantina on-voyage hydrology data are typically obtained from water samples collected in Nansen bottles at various depths. Parameters measured normally comprise temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, inorganic phosphate, total phosphorus and nitrate.

    CARS is a set of seasonal maps of temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, nitrate, phosphate and silicate, generated using Loess mapping from all available oceanographic data in the region. CARS2006 covers the globe from 70S to 26N (only to 10N in the Atlantic), on a 1/2 degree grid, and on 79 standard (CSLv3) depth levels. The data was collated from many sources and rigorously screened to form BLUElink Ocean Archive (BOA). CARS2006 temperature and salinity fields are superseded by CARS2009, which has completely global fields.
