SAIMOS - Biological and Flow Cytometry data collected from CTD stations in South Australia, in December 2009

Flow cytometry data was collected in December 2009, in waters off South Australia. 

The general purpose of the study is to be able to establish background knowledge on the ecosystem on the continental shelf of South Australia and the impact of upwelling/saline outflow events on microbial communities to ultimately develop a biogeochemical model of the region. Sampling was carried out during cruises conducted on board the RV Ngerin as part of the Southern Australian Integrated Marine System (SAIMOS). During each cruise, the physical, chemical and biological properties of the chlorophyll fluorescence maximum (FM) layer were investigated. Flow cytometry data has been collected for picophytoplankton, bacteria and viruses.

Six main stations have been sampled over the course of the study, five are located on the 100 m isobath, i.e. RS (35.508S, 136.278E), B2 (35.418S, 136.148E), B3 (35.258S, 136.048E), B4 (35.168S, 135.418E) and B5 (35.008S, 135.198E), and one from an offshore station (B1; 36.188S, 136.178E) located southwest of Kangaroo Island. Note that combining the distances between stations (14–25 nautical miles), the average component of the current velocity at middepth along the shelf (0.01 m s21) and the average speed of the vessel (i.e. 9 knots) indicate that different water masses were sampled at each station. Additional samples have on occasion been collected from the National Reference Station (NRS) at Kangaroo Island (35.832S, 136.447E) and the SA Spencer Gulf Mouth Mooring (SAM8SG, 35.25S, 136.690E), where the saline outflow occurs.

Seagrass, sediment and infauna - a comparison of Posidonia australis, Posidonia sinuosa and Amphibolis antarctica, Princess Royal Harbour, South-Western Australia. II. Distribution, composition and abundance of macrofauna

Quantitative samples of the macrofauna from three seagrass species, Posidonia australis, Posidonia sinuosa and Amphibolis antarctica, and nearby non-vegetated area were collected from three sites within Princess Royal Harbour in January 1998.  The structure and composition of the macrofaunal communities in these habitats were described.

s4 Current Meter data sets for south Cleveland Bay - 1993

This is data collected during dredging by the Townsville Port Authority in Cleveland Bay in 1993.  Data are divided into a number of main groups: Wind, tide gauge, wave rider, S4, sediment traps, water samples and nephelometers.

Unique site numbers were assigned within Cleveland Bay at which data were collected.  Some of these sites were named, and others were unnamed.

RV Investigator 2014 Onwards Selected Voyages Sea Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Data

The  CO2 measurements group is a research and data collection project carried out through the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) Ship of Opportunity Underway Network facility. The CSIRO CO2 system used for this research is mounted on the Research Vessel RV Investigator  of the Australian Marine National Facility (MNF) managed by CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere (O&A). The dataset includes quality controlled data collected from 2014 onwards. The RV Investigator voyages where data was collected and processed are listed below in this record.  These data are available via the Australian Ocean Data Network AODN and IMOS ocean portal.

RV Investigator 2014 Onwards Selected Voyages ISAR/SST Sea Surface Temperature Data

This record describes the  ISAR/SST Sea Surface Temperature data collected on the RV Investigator Voyages from 2014 onwards.

The infrared SST autonomous radiometer (ISAR) is a self-calibrating instrument capable of measuring in situ sea surface skin temperature to an accuracy of 0.1 K. The SST Radiometer is mounted on the port bridge wing, approximately 19.593m above the summer load line.

River discharge into the Gippsland Lakes

River discharge data from 19 gauging stations were extracted from the Victorian Water Resources Data Warehouse.  The extracted data has been compiled and processed to give concurrent observed flows, in hourly time step at the outlets of all the six major rivers associated with the Gippsland Lakes system.  Continuous discharge data is provided for the outlets of the eastern (Tambo, Nicholson, Mitchell) and western rivers (Avon, Thomson/Macalister, Latrobe) from 1974 and 1977, respectively through to December 2000.  The data was produced for use in the calibration of the Gippsland Lakes Flood Level Modelling Project (GLFLMP), and to re-construct historical water levels in the Gippsland Lakes.  The processed hourly river discharge data for the six major rivers used in the GLFLMP are available as text files.

Responses of the seagrass Posidonia sinuosa to light availability - Summary

Data on Posidonia sinuosa characteristics across a depth related gradient in long-term light availability were collected from Warnbro and Cockburn Sound, W.A. from 2002 to 2004.  Also data from an in situ experiment to test for responses to short-term light reduction; and data from experimental investigations into the role of translocation to cope with reduced light availability was collected.
