Cape Grim Baseline Air Pollution Station - Atmospheric CO2 Measurements 1976- 2004

The CSIRO archive of observed atmospheric CO2 concentrations at the Cape Grim Baseline Air Pollution Station in North-West Tasmania for the period 1976 until 2004. Measurements of atmospheric CO2 levels began in 1976 and have continued until the present day, giving an unprecedented view of the overall change in CO2 composition over the 30+ year time-frame. These started with the URAS-2T instrument until Jun 1990, continuing with the Siemens Ultramat 5E system until July 2004, followed by the LOFLO Mk2 instrument until the present day. All use NDIR (non-dispersive infrared) analysis techniques with LOFLO being CSIRO developed to make measurements consuming smaller volumes of calibration gas, requiring less operator intervention and having less bias than traditional NDIR measurement techniques. Logged data is available in a single ascii text file in hourly averaged periods containing CO2 concentration, wind speed and direction, a baseline and quality flag. Conditions are considered baseline when wind directions are between 190 &amp; 280° bringing air from the southern ocean. The file size for the given variables is approximately 400 KB for an hourly averaged year of data, with the period from 1976-2004 being approx 11.0 MB.

Aquafin CRC Salmon Project - Process Study 2 - Sediment Trap Survey - Huon Estuary - September 2005

Process Study 2 was undertaken between 20-22 September 2005 in the Huon Estuary offshore from Hideaway Bay. During this Process Study, two sediment traps were deployed at each of two sites (near sites P3 and P4 from the spatial survey) on the bottom for 24 hours.Prior to the deployment of the traps surface sediment samples were collected with a benthic grab from each site. Each sediment trap consisted of three collection tubes, material from each tube was filtered on 47 mm GFF filters, with several filters required to filter all of the particualte matter from each tube. Combined filters from each of two tubes labeled A and B (typically 3 filters for each tube) were extracted for lipid analysis. Tube C was used either for isotopes or Fauna indent.

Plastic Pollution in the World’s Oceans (2007-2013)

Plastic pollution is ubiquitous throughout the marine environment, yet estimates of the global abundance and weight of floating plastics have lacked data, particularly from the Southern Hemisphere and remote regions. Here we report an estimate of the total number of plastic particles and their weight floating in the world’s oceans from 24 expeditions (2007–2013) across all five sub-tropical gyres, coastal Australia, Bay of Bengal and the Mediterranean Sea conducting surface net tows (N5680) and visual survey transects of large plastic debris (N5891). Using an oceanographic model of floating debris dispersal calibrated by our data, and correcting for wind-driven vertical mixing, we estimate a minimum of 5.25 trillion particles weighing 268,940 tons. When comparing between four size classes, two microplastic &lt;4.75 mm and meso- and macroplastic &gt;4.75 mm, a tremendous loss of microplastics is observed from the sea surface compared to expected rates of fragmentation, suggesting there are mechanisms at play that remove &lt;4.75 mm plastic particles from the ocean surface.

The final conductivity calibration was based on a single deployment grouping. The final calibration from the primary sensor had a standard deviation (SD) of 0. 0015434PSU, within our target of ‘better than 0.002 PSU’. The standard product of 1 decibar binned averaged were produced using data from the primary sensors.
The dissolved oxygen data calibration fit had a SD of 0.90687 μM. The agreement between the CTD and bottle data was good.
Transmissometer, Wetlabs FLBBRTD and Altimeter were also installed on the auxiliary A/D channels of the CTD.
