    This dataset contains data collected by the Australian Continuous Plankton Recorder (AusCPR) survey and is funded by IMOS (Ships of Opportunity sub-facility) and CSIRO. The aims of the AusCPR survey are to: * map plankton biodiversity and distribution * develop the first long-term plankton baseline for Australian waters * document plankton changes in response to climate change * provide indices for fisheries management * detect harmful algal blooms * validate satellite remote sensing * initialise and test ecosystem models. The survey conducts repeat tows in the GBR, the East Australian Current and down to the Southern Ocean Time Series Mooring (SOTS). Other routes are conducted on an adhoc nature around Australia. The dataset also contains phytoplankton data from the UTAS / AAD led Southern Ocean CPR (SOCPR) project which is also funded by IMOS. The datasets available in this collection include Phytoplankton Colour Index (an estimate of chlorophyll in the water), phytoplankton abundance, zooplankton abundance and a biomass index from AusCPR and phytoplankton abundance from SOCPR. This data are freely available through the AODN portal: https://portal.aodn.org.au. This data is freely available but please acknowledge all relevant parties, as detailed in acknowledgement section.

  • This record describes some gravity data collected on RV Investigator voyage IN2015_V02, using MicroG Lacoste Air-Sea system II; the ship departed Sydney on 15 May and arrived in Brisbane on 26 May 2015.

  • This record describes multibeam echosounder data collected on RV Investigator voyage IN2016_V05, "The Great Barrier Reef as a significant source of climatically relevant aerosol particles". The voyage departed Brisbane on 28th September 2016. Leg 1 ended on 11 October with a personnel transfer at Fitzroy Island. Leg 2 ended on 16 October with another personnel transfer at Magnetic Island, then the voyage ended in Brisbane on 24 October 2016. The Kongsberg EM710 MKII multibeam echosounder was used to acquire seafloor bathymetry and backscatter information and watercolumn backscatter during most of the survey. The EM710 MKII provides a 0.5° by 1° transmit and receive angular resolution respectively. The echosounder's nominal frequency range is from 40 to 100 kHz. Data are stored in *.all raw format for bathymetry and backscatter and *.wcd format for watercolumn backscatter at CSIRO. There are 489 files totalling 393 GB of raw data in this dataset. Sound velocity profiles were applied to this data during data acquisition. Bathymetry data contained in *.all format are corrected for motion and position. Tide corrections were not applied to the processed data. Processed data has had outliers removed. Processed line data are available in *.gsf and ascii format. Additional information regarding this dataset, including further information on processing streams, is contained in the GSM data acquisition and processing report. Additional data products may be available on request.

  • This record describes magnetometer data collected on RV Investigator voyage voyage IN2020_E01 (Trials and Calibration) which departed Hobart on the 29th July 2020 and returned to Hobart on the 6th August 2020. The purpose of this voyage was to undertake post port-period equipment calibrations and commissioning, sea trials and personnel training. The SeaSPY2 magnetometer uses an omnidirectional Overhauser sensor that requires no realignment or recalibration and has no heading error. The instrument has an absolute accuracy of 0.1 nT, sensor sensitivity of 0.01 nT and resolution of 0.001 nT. Data are stored in .CSV and .MMS data files at CSIRO. 0.68 MB of raw data was acquired in this dataset. No processing has been conducted on this data. The magnetometer was towed 300 m astern of the ship and a layback value of 361 m was applied to the magnetometer data. This was the total distance behind the ship's positioning reference point. Note: The magnetometer was only deployed for a short period (between 23:04 & 23:51 on the 03/08/2020 - UTC) for training purposes only. Additional information regarding this dataset is contained in the GSM data acquisition and processing report.

  • This record describes multibeam echosounder data collected on RV Investigator voyage IN2017_C02, ['Hogan Group Hydrographic Survey – Bass Strait'] which departed Hobart on the 4th May 2017 and came alongside Bell Bay following completion of the survey on the 14th May 2017. The Kongsberg EM2040c multibeam echo sounder (dual transceivers) was used to acquire seafloor bathymetry and backscatter information [(and watercolumn backscatter)] around Bass Strait. The EM2040c provides a 1.3° by 1.3° transmit and receive angular resolution respectively (single transceiver). The echosounder's nominal frequency range was [300 kHz] and it was operated in dual swath mode. Data are stored in *.all raw format for bathymetry and backscatter and *.wcd format for watercolumn backscatter at CSIRO. There are 435 files totalling 99 GB of raw .all data in the dataset. Sound velocity profiles were applied to this data during data acquisition. Bathymetry data contained in *.all format are corrected for motion and position. Tide corrections were applied to the processed data. Processed data has had outliers removed. Processed line data are not available in *.gsf and ascii format, but can be requested if required. Additional information regarding this dataset, including further information on processing streams, is contained in the GSM data acquisition and processing report. Additional data products may be available on request. The raw data is offline but is available on request.
