This dataset contains the Underway (UWY) data collected on Southern Surveyor voyage SS 02/95. This cruise took place in the Gulf of Carpentaria during 13 February - 19 March 1995, under the leadership of John Salini. This dataset has NOT 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. 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 1 minute intervals.

Logbooks (cruises) are as follows: - Petuna Endeavour August 1989 & Franklin FRV13 - EK500 course, TE01/90, SS trials cruise, TE05/90, TE06/90, Towed body trials, & Analysis of SS90 data. - SS02/91 - SS01/92 - SS03/92 - SS04/93 & SS05/93 - SS04/92 & SS03/93 - SS05/93 Calibration settings, Mufti towing trials (8/11/95 & 19/1/96), & SS11/95 - SS06/93 & SS07/93 - Tim's log book (18 Sept 1995 & 16 Nov. 1995, SS02/91, SS03/93, SS04/92, & SS05/93) - SS03/94 & SS05/94 - SS02/94 - SS01/95 & SS02/95 - SS07/97 - Dec 98 Calibration, SS9801, & SS9802 - SS9901 & SS9903 - Saxon Progress July 99, Petuna Explorer 2001, Celtic Rose 2001, Megisti 2001, & Corvina 2001 - Ningaloo Reef 2001 - PET200302 - SS200409 - TAN200701
This record is an overview entry for biological data collected on Southern Surveyor cruise SS 02/95. This cruise took place in the Gulf of Carpentaria during 13 February - 19 March 1995, under the leadership of John Salini. Biological data collected on this cruise include samples from 153 paired bycatch reduction device (BRD) prawn trawls, 4 multi-level beam trawls (MBT) and 43 environmentally friendly net (EFN) trawls. Clear video images of fish behaviour in the BRD codends of the prawn net and the EFN were also obtained. 130 fish specimens were collected for the Hobart Fish Taxonomy Group's Handbook of Commercial Fishes. Scombrids and cephalopds were collected for QDPI Fisheries. Tissue samples from L. malabaricus, L. sebae and other species were obtained for population genetic studies for the Hobart genetics group. Queensland Museum and AIMS collected sponges and invertebrates and two acoustic recordings of trawler noise and background fish sounds. 3 species of Thenus were collected for University of Queensland. 11 turtles were also tagged during prawn trawling. Please note: This metadata record is a preliminary entry derived from information in the cruise plan and/or cruise report. Individual data types - which may span several cruises - will be indexed separately within this metadata system in due course.
