This biological overview for the Southern Surveyor voyage SS 02/1999. The voyage took place in waters off Cape Grim and in the Southern Ocean during February 1999. This dataset has been partly processed and has not yet been archived within the CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research Data Centre in Hobart.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. On this cruise pigments and chlorophyll a were collected by (Unknown) and later processed at CMAR, Hobart by Pru Bonham. This cruise complements work done in the same region on Southern Surveyor in spring 1995 (SS 11/95), and on Aurora Australis in late summer, 1998.
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 processed Hydrology (HYD) data collected on Southern Surveyor voyage SS 02/99. The voyage took place in waters off Cape Grim and in the Southern Ocean during February 1999. 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). Southern Surveyor 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 Southern Surveyor voyage SS 02/99. The voyage took place in waters off Cape Grim and in the Southern Ocean during February 1999. 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 Underway (UWY) data collected on Southern Surveyor voyage SS 02/99. The voyage took place in waters off Cape Grim and in the Southern Ocean during February 1999. 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 record contains data collected at 20 stations on the Southern Surveyor cruise SS02/99. Water samples were generally collected along the transect of around 142deg E from 40-55deg S to determinethe 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. Much of this was a repeat of a transect sampled during March 1998 on the Aurora Australis cruise AA06/97. In addition to the station samples, 25 water samples were collected from the outflow of the underway fluorometer and analysed for chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments only.
