For micronekton and zooplankton prey data contact Jock Young, acoustic biomass data was collected and stored by Rudy Kloser. The Phytoplankton biomass and speciation was processed by Lesley Clementson. The Stomach content data is in an ACCESS database, contact Jock Young. Mark Lewis has video from voyage and photographs of deck shots & equipment used during the voyage.
In-situ target strength data at 38 and 120kHz from acoustic system lowered slowly through the water column, stopping at 100 metre intervals for 5 minutes. 15 deployments in total, complemented by CTD, EK500 vertical acoustics, MIDOC net tows Collected on voyage SS 09/2004 of Southern Surveyor off the East Coast of Australia in and around the Lord Howe Rise, east of Brisbane, in September 2004.
Simrad EA500 and EK500 vessel mounted vertical acoustic data consisting of 12kHz, 38kHz, 120kHz, collected on voyage SS 09/2004 of Southern Surveyor off the East Coast of Australia in and around the Lord Howe Rise, east of Brisbane, in September 2004. Data were collected for the duration of the voyage. 38kHz and 120kHz frequencies were calibrated at the start of the SS 07/2004 voyage in July 2004.
Multibeam echosounder data collected on Southern Surveyor voyage 09/2004 using the Simrad EM300 multibeam echosounder to acquire high resolution seafloor bathymetry and backscatter information. This voyage took place off eastern Australia during October 2004. Ping rate varied according to depth. Data are stored in Simrad *.all raw format at CMAR and Geoscience Australia (GA). There are 77 files totalling 1.9GB of raw data in this dataset. (Note, there are some issues with data quality in this set - refer "lineage"). 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 Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) data collected on Southern Surveyor voyage SS 09/2004. The voyage took place in the Coral Sea 15-Sep-2004 to 29-Sep-2004. This dataset will be processed and archived within the CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research Data Centre in Hobart. Additional information regarding this dataset is contained in the Voyage Summary and the Data Processing Report.
This dataset contains the Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) data collected on Southern Surveyor voyage SS 09/2004. This voyage took place off eastern Australia during October 2004. This dataset has been processed and 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 record contains data collected on the RV Southern Surveyor, north of the Tasman Sea, between 15 and 27 September 2004. The data can be used for Ocean Colour sensor validation. Parameters measured are the concentration of chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments and retrieved chlorophyll a estimate. The data was used primarily to validate ocean colour sensors MERIS, MODIS and SeaWIFs and the SST sensor AATSR. Samples were collected and analysed for pigments.
This dataset contains the Underway (UWY) data collected on Southern Surveyor voyage SS 09/2004. The voyage took place off the east coast of Queensland in September 2004. 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 voyage plan and voyage summary. This dataset contains NO Depth Data. The standard Underway (=continuously recorded) dataset from a research voyage includes Navigation (NAV), Sounder (PDR), Thermosalinograph (TSG) and Meteorological (MET) data. NAV data includes GPS (Global Positioning System) measurements of latitude, longitude, ship's direction and speed. MET data may include atmospheric temperature, humidity and pressure, wind speed and direction, and incident radiation intensity. The data are available at 10 second intervals in the NetCDF file, or at five minute intervals in the standard ASCII file.

Micronekton are small (~2-20 cm) free-swimming pelagic organisms. Ecologically, they are the mediators between primary production to higher trophic orders, by providing the trophic link between the mesozooplankton and apex predators. Here we describe CSIRO’s micronekton data holdings collected from 1992 to 2018 from 13 surveys within six areas around southeastern Australia and the Southern and Indian Oceans. Surveys include depth stratified sampling, integrated sampling and some diurnal and seasonal replication. Comparisons between surveys were made by standardising data using a consistent method for volume filtered estimates.
