    The CSIRO radiometer was deployed to measure underwater light levels on the Strahan, Marawah transects of FR 10/97. Deployments took place between 10:30 am and 3:00 pm, usually only once daily. Casts were taken near CTD stations.

  • This dataset contains the processed Hydrology (HYD) data collected on Franklin voyage FR 10/97. The voyage took place down the east coast of Australia from Brisbane to the main study area around Tasmania during 25 November - 9 December 1997. Additional information regarding this dataset is contained in the cruise report for this voyage and/or the data processing report. 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, nitrite and ammonia.

  • This dataset contains the processed Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) data collected on Franklin voyage FR 10/97. The voyage took place down the east coast of Australia from Brisbane to the main study area around Tasmania, during November - December 1997. 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.

  • This dataset contains the processed Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) data collected on Franklin voyage FR 10/97. The voyage took place down the east coast of Australia from Brisbane to the main study area around Tasmania during 25 November - 9 December 1997. 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 data were collected at a total of 23 stations on the Franklin cruise 10/97. These samples were taken along the St Helens, Schouten Island, Tasman Island, Bruny Island, SE Cape, Pt Davey, Strahan, Marawah and King Island transects. The data were collected to determine the bio-optical charateristics of this region. The data can be used for Ocean Colour and CDOM sensor validation. Parameters measured are the concentration of chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments and the absorption coefficient for dissolved (CDOM) particulate (a/p) and detrital or non-algal (a/d) components of the water column. There were 2 parts to this cruise- leg 1 was from Townsville to Hobart, during which underway samples were collected for pigment analysis, with matching fluorescence values. About 35 samples from 19.38.33S,148.5.49E (25/11/97) to 39.30.92S, 143.59.16E (30/11/97)were collected on leg 1. Leg 2- on the transect around Tasmania, pigment and spectral absorbance samples were collected at depths, as well as underway samples.

  • This dataset contains the processed Underway (UWY) data collected on Franklin voyage FR 10/97. The voyage took place down the east coast of Australia from Brisbane to the main study area around Tasmania, during November - December 1997. 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.

    This study examined the larval biology and ecology of the southern rock lobster (Jasus edwardsii) based on approximately 3000 archived plankton and mid-water trawl samples held, principally, by CSIRO, Tasmanian Aquaculture and Fisheries Institute, and the Marine and Freshwater Research Institute, Victoria. Additional samples were provided by the National Institute of Water and Atmosphere, New Zealand; some samples were opportunistically collected during the project to fill in areas where there was a lack of archived samples. The combined sample set covered the major geographic range of the fishery in Australia (132E/32S - 155E/46S). Details of larval growth, duration and distribution were combined with concurrently collected hydrographic data and satellite based observations to examine possible larval transport mechanisms, connectivity between management zones and physical factors that may influence the supply of larvae on a regional basis. The dataset is primarily in Excel format with a summary of the results presented in a final report to FRDC (project number 96/107).
