This dataset contains the ichthyoplankton data from three National Reference Stations on the east coast of Australia (North Stradbroke Island, Port Hacking, and Maria Island), and comparable historical data from eight ichthyoplankton surveys that were used to provide a longer term context: RV Sprightly (1983) RV Challenger (1989-1991) RV Franklin (1994) RV Franklin (1997-1998) RV Franklin (1998-1999) RV Southern Surveyor (2004) RV Investigator (2015) FRV Kapala (1989-1993) Refer to the published report which had the following goals: - To evaluate the value of long-term monitoring of ichthyoplankton at selected locations in the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) National Reference Station (NRS) network, - To identify the potential of this monitoring for providing fishery-independent information relevant for marine fishes and their management. Note - Currently only the data from the IMOS NRS Stations have been made available.
This dataset contains the processed Hydrology (HYD) data collected on Franklin voyage FR 04/94. The voyage took place in Sydney coastal waters during 4-14 April 1994. 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). Franklin 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.
This dataset contains the processed Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) data collected on Franklin voyage FR 04/94. The voyage took place in Sydney coastal waters during 4-14 April 1994. 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).
This dataset contains the processed Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) data collected on Franklin voyage FR 04/94. The voyage took place in Sydney coastal waters during 4-14 April 1994. 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).
This dataset contains the processed Underway (UWY) data collected on Franklin voyage FR 04/94. The voyage took place in Sydney coastal waters during 4-14 April 1994. 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). The standard Underway (=continuously recorded) dataset from a research voyage includes Navigation (NAV), Sounder, Thermosalinograph (TSG) and Meteorological (MET) data. NAV data includes GPS (Global Positioning System) measurements of latitude, longitude, ship's direction and speed. MET data includes atmospheric temperature, humidity and pressure, wind speed and direction, and incident radiation intensity. Data are recorded at or averaged over 5 minute intervals.
