This record describes the Carthe Drifter data from the Marine National Facility (MNF) RV Investigator voyage IN2024_V04, titled "Linking East Australian Current dynamics and submarine canyon geomorphology to marine ecosystem hotspots." The voyage took place between June 07, 2024 and July 03, 2024 (AEST), departing from Sydney and returning to Brisbane. Four Carthe drifters were deployed to measure near-surface currents and track water movement, helping to characterise circulation patterns and the influence of the East Australian Current across the shelf and canyon regions.

This record describes the Carthe Drifter data from the Marine National Facility (MNF) RV Investigator voyage IN2023_V06, titled "Understanding Eddy Interactions and Their Impacts in the East Australian Current System." The voyage took place between October 9, 2023 and November 2, 2023 (AEST), departing from Sydney and returning to Sydney. Four carthe drifters were deployed near the Solitary and Richmond Canyons to characterise near-surface circulation associated with the East Australian Current. Drifter trajectories captured the strength and variability of surface flow and cross-shelf transport, providing Lagrangian observations of EAC-driven circulation and its influence on shelf–slope exchange.
