ACE wave spectra - model prediction vs WaMoSII data

CAWCR Hindcast and ECMWF ERA-5* model predictions of wave spectral properties (wave height and period) and corresponding observed data from ACE.
Observations are mapped to model grids. Quality control is applied, i.e. cells with a number of points less than 5 and/or with high data variation (Standard Deviation/Mean greater than 0.2) are eliminated.
Files are named as follows:
WaMoS_vs_CAWCR_Hs.mat
WaMoS_vs_CAWCR_Tm.mat
WaMoS_vs_ERA5_Hs.mat
WaMoS_vs_ERA5_Tp.mat
In each file, columns show Latitude (deg.), Longitude (deg.), Time (number of days from January 0, 0000), Model Parameters (Hs, Tp or Tm) and Observed Parameters (Hs, Tp or Tm), respectively. Hs denotes significant wave height in meters, Tp is peak wave period in seconds and Tm is mean wave period based on the first moment of wave spectrum in seconds.
The MATLAB file, WaMoSvsModel_FigurePlot.m, can be used to visualise the results. The files dscatter.m and polyfix.m are functions used in the MATLAB script. A sample figure (SampleFigure.png) is also included for users’ reference.

These data were collected by Mark Rosenberg.
This metadata record was completed by AADC staff when the data were discovered bundled with acoustics data during a data cleaning exercise.
Basic information about voyage 7:
Subject to ice conditions, the voyage will undertake a range of Marine Science activities in the Prydz Bay area and will retrieve summer personnel, helicopters and limited RTA cargo from Davis station.
Leader: Mr Rob Easther

In-situ atmospheric ozone measurements observed during the SIPEX II voyage of the Aurora Australis, 2012

This dataset contains in-situ atmospheric ozone mixing ratios observed during SIPEX 2. 
Ozone Monitor
Instrument Description: Commercial dual cell ultraviolet ozone analyser: Thermoelectron Model 49C. Calibration to a traceable ozone standard prior to and after the voyage. Ozone loss in inlet and on filter quantified and negligible.
Instrument Setup:
This instrument is sampling from its own Teflon sample air inlet secured to the front port side railing of the Monkey Deck. Air samples are drawn through a 30m  quarter inch Teflon tube then through an inline particle filter before being entering the instrument located in the Met-Lab. Each week, a 30 minute instrument zero is performed by inserting an inline scrubber which catalyses ozone destruction. In the current position, wind from the aft of the ship will blow ship exhaust over the inlet, causing fluctuating low ozone values. Use the 2D anemometer and mercury measurements made on "Ned Kelly" in the mercury data file to filter for wind direction versus heading, also the mercury data itself is indicative of sampling ship emissions.
The files included are in csv format. Files are named as per the date they were created. Data continued to log to the most recent file until data collection stopped. There is a "Long" and a "Normal" file for each set. The "Long" contains instrument parameters logged every hour, and the "Normal" contains minute average ozone concentrations.

Adelie penguin occupancy survey of the Windmill Island group, 2012 - 2013

An occupancy survey in January 2011 found a total of 14 islands/sites in Windmill group had populations of breeding Adelie penguins. The boundaries of breeding colonies at 11 of the 14 islands were subsequently mapped for abundance surveys. Seven islands were mapped on the ground with GPS: Whitney Point, Blakeney Point, Shirley Island, Odbert Island, Berkley Island, Cameron Island and O'Connor Island between 10 December 2012 to 9 January 2013 ). The buffer distance was reduced to 1-2 m in the shapefiles created from the ground maps. Ground mapping involved circumnavigating the perimeter of sub-colonies on foot while carrying a Garmin GPS (Legend Cx or Vista C) to log the track taken. The person walking around the sub-colonies maintained a buffer distance of 2-3 m between themselves and the penguins at the sub-colony boundary to minimise disturbance.

Tide Gauge Records, Hurd Point 1996

Tide gauge data collected from pressure tide gauge at Hurd Point, Macquarie Island.  Data were collected between 1996-03-07 and 1996-10-27.
A temporary tide gauge was installed at Hurd Point as it was suspected that there was a 6 minute wave around the island.
The installation was made to determine whether this is correct.

Southern Ocean Sea Ice Microplastic Analysis - PanAntarctic study 2004-2022

The purpose of this study was to quantify microplastic pollution in the Southern Ocean through the analysis of sea-ice cores from several distinct regions around the Antarctic continent. We analysed 19 sea-ice cores from 10 individual research expeditions across distinct Southern Ocean regions: The Antarctic Peninsula, the Bellinghausen Sea, the Weddell Sea, Queen Maud Land, Prydz Bay, Wilkes Land, Mawson Sea, the Ross Sea, and McMurdo Sound, and sampled between austral summers 2004-2022. The campaigns and drill dates are as follows: ISPOL (Dec 2004), SIMBA (Oct 2007), YROSIAE (Dec 2011 and Nov 2012), SIPEX II (Oct 2012), DAVIS (Nov 2015), AAV2 (Dec 2016),  PIPERS (May 2017), AWECS (June 2017), REKT (Jan 2021), and DML (Jan 2022). Abundance, chemical composition and size data for microplastics was obtained from these ice-core samples by means of Fourier-transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Sample analysis was conducted with OPUS 8.7 software (Bruker), and the collated OPUS data was exported as an ENVI file and particle analysis was conducted with Purency Microplastic Finder (PMF) an automated analysis software for μFTIR imaging. In the provided excel data set, the sheet labelled “total polymer counts” provides data directly from Purency Microplastic Finder software, including polymer type, pixel size, area, length and width and denoted individually for each ice-core drill site. The sheet labelled “MP concentrations” denotes the abundance of microplastic particles per core, the quantity of sea-ice meltwater filtered, and the integrated abundances of microplastics across drill seasons, sites, and ice textures. The R data tab in data collated from the previous sheets to perform statistical analyses in R to determine if there were significant differences in medians across ice types, pan-Antarctic regions, and seasons.
See the downloadable dataset for more information.

Vulnerability of Antarctic marine benthos to increased temperatures and ocean acidification associated with climate change

Metadata record for data from AAS (ASAC) project 3134.
This metadata record deals specifically with the objectives relating to "Effects of Ocean Warming and Ocean Acidification on the Echinoderm Sterechinus neumayeri".
These data are published in the following paper: Ericson, JA and Ho, MA and Miskelly, A and King, CK and Virtue, P and Tilbrook, BD and Byrne, M, Combined effects of two ocean change stressors, warming and acidification, on fertilization and early development of the Antarctic echinoid Sterechinus neumayeri, Polar Biology, online, (online) pp. 1-8. ISSN 0722-4060 (2011) 
The study examined the effects of decreased seawater pH and increased seawater temperature on Sterechinus neumayeri fertilisation and embryology. Experiments were carried out in the laboratories at Davis Station, Antarctica during the 2010/2011 summer season as part of a wider research programme looking at the effects of climate change and human impacts on Antarctic marine invertebrates.  The research was conducted under project 3134 'Vulnerability of Antarctic marine benthos to increased temperatures and ocean acidification associated with climate change'.
Public 
Ocean acidification and warming are global phenomena that will impact marine biota through the 21st century. This project will provide urgently needed predictive information on the likely survivorship of benthic invertebrates in near shore Antarctic environments that is crucial for risk assessment of potential future changes to oceans. As oceans acidify carbonate saturation decreases, reducing the material required to produce marine skeletons. By examining the effects of increased ocean temperature and acidification on planktonic and benthic life stages of both calcifying and non-calcifying ecologically important organisms, predictions can be made on the potential vulnerability of marine biota to climatic change.
