Production and Fate of Dissolved and Particulate Organic Matter During Antarctic Phytoplankton Blooms

From the abstract of one of the papers:
Phytoplankton biomass and speciation were monitored at an inshore site near Davis Station, East Antarctica during three consecutive summer seasons (December-February, 1992-5).  Four distinct phytoplankton assemblages were identified in which the dominant species were: Phaeocystis sp., an undescribed Cryptomonas species, Thalassiosira dichotomica, and a mixed assemblage containing Fragilariopsis spp. and Nitzschia spp.  Little interannual consistency was found in either the timing of the appearance or disappearance of the various assemblages.  Similarly, the seasonal trends in biomass varied dramatically from year to year.  Variations in the phytoplankton community can be ascribed, to some extent, to the random variation in a number of factors, including the date of fast ice break out, water column stratification, temperature and salinity, zooplankton grazing and strong winds.  Periods of strong wind result in the introduction of offshore or deeper water masses into the shallow inshore environment, where the physical and chemical conditions allow blooms to develop.
A number of the papers listed in the reference section are available as pdf's in the download section.

Vocal Characteristics and Communication Strategies of Weddell Seal 'Leptonychotes weddelli' Underwater Calls

The underwater and in-air recordings were used to derive a technique to classify the call types. The in-air recordings demonstrated that both males and females vocalise and often a single seal will string up to 6 call types together in a variety of orders.  No 'Trills' were heard by males or females on the ice.  The seals lengthened the duration of multiple-element calls when they were 'interrupted' by another calling seal.  This suggests that the seals are listening for the calls of conspecifics while they themselves are calling. A pilot project indicated that almost none of the calls are completely masked by other calling seals. The recordings are being used (in association with recordings obtained in later years) to address other aspects of Weddell seal vocal communication.

Integrated PAR exposure of sea ice in East Antarctica

The data comprise images (encapsulated postscript and PNG formats) showing the integrated solar irradiance exposure of sea ice. The exposure value for ice at a given grid point was calculated by computing the motion trajectory of that patch of ice across the autumn/winter season (1-March to 1-November). Daily motion data were obtained from the National Snow and Ice Data Center (http://nsidc.org/data/nsidc-0116.html). The integrated radiation exposure was then calculated using daily estimates of downward solar flux from the NCEP/NCAR re-analyses. The values shown in the images are cumulative photosynthetically active radiation expressed in  W-days/m^2.
Please contact the data custodian before using these data.
This work was done as part of ASAC project 2943 (ASAC_2943).  See the link below for public details about the project.

2007-08 V3 CEAMARC-CASO Bathymetry Plots Over Time During Events

A routine was developed in R ('bathy_plots.R') to plot bathymetry data over time during individual CEAMARC events.  This is so we can analyse benthic data in relation to habitat, ie. did we trawl over a slope or was the sea floor relatively flat.  Note that the depth range in the plots is autoscaled to the data, so a small range in depths appears as a scatetring of points.  As long as you look at the depth scale though interpretation will be ok.
The R files need a file of bathymetry data in '200708V3_one_minute.csv' which is a file containing a data export from the underway PostgreSQL ship database and 'events.csv' which is a stripped down version of the events export from the ship board events database export.  If you wish to run the code again you may need to change the pathnames in the R script to relevant locations.  If you have opened the csv files in excel at any stage and the R script gets an error you may need to format the date/time columns as yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm:ss, save and close the file as csv without opening it again and then run the R script.
However, all output files are here for every CEAMARC event.  Filenames contain a reference to CEAMARC event id.  Files are in eps format and can be viewed using Ghostview which is available as a free download on the internet.

Energy requirements and daily food consumption of crabeater seals in the Antarctic winter pack-ice

Although the most abundant  of all mammalian predators in the Antarctic marine ecosystem, crabeater seals are also one of the least understood.  The most fundamental question of all - how many are there? - is the focus of an extensive international collaborative program (the Antarctic Pack-ice Seal Program, or APIS).  This study supplements APIS by providing additional data on the diving behaviour and food requirements of crabeater seals, that can be used in conjunction with census data to provide information on the role of crabeater seals in the antarctic ecosystem.
Winter densities and distributions of Crabeater seals were collected during 1999. Crabeater seals were most often encountered on the shelf break. The data collected include numbers of seals sighted per hour in relation to the amount of time the ship spent in each 0.5 degree grid square.
This study is the first to describe the winter distribution of crabeater seals (Lobodon carcinophagus) in East Antarctica.  The study was conducted in the Mertz Glacier Polynya region from July to August 1999.  In total 89 crabeater seals were seen in 26 groups which ranged in size from 1 to 35 animals (mean = 3.2).  The mean observed haulout density along a 200m wide strip  transect was 0.108 seals per square kilometre, or 0.042 groups per square kilometre. Crabeater seals were not uniformly distributed in the polynya but selected areas of stable ice over shallow (less than 1000m) waters.  We used a  generalised linear model to assess the relationship of seal distribution to the  physical attributes of sea ice concentration, thickness, and ocean depth.  We  found that ice thickness and ocean depth were the most important determinants of seal distribution.  Crabeater seals occurred in areas where the ice affords them a stable haulout platform while allowing them access to Antarctic krill that live directly beneath the ice.

Effects of helicopter operations on emperor penguin chicks

Creching emperor penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri) chickswere exposed to two overflights by an S-76 twin engine helicopter at 1000 m: a current operational guideline for helicopter activity in Antarctica. The flights were conducted on the same day but under different wind conditions: a morning flight with a 10 kt (18 km.hr-1) katabatic blowing perpendicular to the direction of helicopter travel and an afternoon flight with virtually no wind. Background noise levels recorded in the morning, before the helicopter flight, were significantly higher than in the afternoon, but these differences were not detectable when the helicopter was overhead. There were also no significant differences in the way chicks responded to helicopters between the morning and afternoon flight. All chicks became more vigilant when the helicopter approached and 69% either walked or ran, generally moving less than 10 m toward other chicks (i.e. not scattering). Most chicks (83%) displayed flipper-flapping, probably indicating nervous apprehension. This behaviour was seldom displayed in the absence of disturbance.  Although all effects were relatively transitory, results support the introduction of more conservative guidelines for helicopter operations around breeding localities of this species.

Aurora Australis Voyage 3 2017/18 Track and Underway Data

On every voyage of the Aurora Australis, approximately 50 onboard sensors collect data on average every 10 seconds.  These data are known as the underway datasets.  The type of data collected include water and air temperature, wind speeds, ship speed and location, humidity, fluorescence, salinity and so on.  For the full list of available data types, see the website.
These data are broadcast "live" (every 30 minutes) back to Australia and are available via the Australian Oceanographic Data Centre's portal (see the provided link).  Once the ship returns to port, the data are then transferred to Australian Antarctic Division servers where they are then made available via the Marine Science Data Search system (see the provided URL).
This dataset contains the underway data collected during Voyage 3 of the Aurora Australis Voyage in the 2017/18 season.
Purpose of voyage: Mawson over water resupply and refuel, deploy/retrieve personnel, recover and deploy whale mooring.
Leader: Mr. Mark Skinner
Deputy Leader: Dr. Fred Olivier
Underway (meteorological) data are available online via the Australian Antarctic Division Data Centre web page (or via the Related URL section).
