Future Reef MAP - July 2013 (Southbound)

Data were collected as part of the FutureReef MAP project, a three-year project designed to monitor ocean chemistry along the entire length of the Great Barrier Reef. The Future Reef MAP project is funded by Rio Tinto Alcan and administered by the Great Barrier Reef Foundation, with an equal co-investment by CSIRO. The project is the first large-scale CO2 observing system established on the Great Barrier Reef using the Rio Tinto ship, RTM Wakmatha. The research is targeted at providing information on the CO2 uptake and the controls on ocean acidification change in the region. It is providing foundation data needed to assess the vulnerability of the GBR reefs to ocean acidification. This dataset contains quality controlled underway measurements of the fugacity of CO2, atmospheric pressure, and sea surface temperature and salinity. The data management and distribution of these data were supported by the CSIRO Carbon Collaboration Cluster and the Australian Coastal Ecosystem Facility.

Zooplankton and hydrology of inshore coastal waters of South-Eastern Tasmania 1971-1972

Zooplankton samples were collected at inshore coastal waters of south eastern Tasmania, between the years 1971 and 1972. Three stations were selected to cover the D'Entrecasteaux Channel, mouth of the Derwent River and the Storm Bay areas. Surface, midwater and bottom zooplankton samples were collected monthly for a period of twelve months during the day as well as night time, using horizontal tows. Data for temperature and salinity were also obtained from the stations.

Marine Futures Project - Rottnest Island - biota

The Marine Futures Project was designed to benchmark the current status of key Western Australian marine ecosystems, based on an improved understanding of the relationship between marine habitats, biodiversity and our use of these values. Approximately 1,500 km2 of seafloor were mapped using hydroacoustics (Reson 8101 Multibeam), and expected benthic habitats "ground-truthed" using towed video transects and baited remote underwater video systems. Both sources of information were then combined in a spatial predictive modelling framework to produce fine-scale habitat maps showing the extent of substrate types, biotic formations, etc.
Surveys took place across 9 study areas, including Rottnest Island, a popular family holiday destination just 20 km off the Perth coast. One of the main drawcards of the island is the diverse marine life inhabiting the surounding waters, which Western Australian locals and tourists can experience by snorkelling, diving, boating and fishing.
The marine environment around Rottnest includes seagrass meadows, kelp-covered reef tops, coral patches, and sponge gardens in deeper water. As a result of the warm, southward flowing Leeuwin Current, the island represents the southern limit of the distributions of many tropical corals and fish. The marine life around Rottnest therefore represents a unique mix of tropical and temperate species and habitats.

Parent record: Datasets relating to core GC-10, located in the Capricorn Channel at a depth of 335 mbsl

Core GC10 (22o59 76S 152o48' 00E) was collected from the Capricorn Channel at a depth of 335 mbsl (metres below sea level). By investigating the properties and components of this core we are able to reveal some information about this hemi-pelagic sedimentary environment over the last glacial / interglacial cycle. Information obtained or inferred from the core include the isotopic composition of oxygen and carbon through time, an age vs. depth profile, the percentage of grainsize fractions throughout the core and the percentage of carbonate material in each sample. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analyses were also run on several samples from each core to determine changes in the carbonate mineralogy and terrestrial influx, which provided further palaeoclimatic information.

Effects of human activities on intertidal gastropods

This data was collected to investigate the relationship between human activities and size distribution of gastropods on rocky shores. It was predicted that there would be a negative correlation between the level of human activity and the average size of gastropod species such as Cellana tramoserica, Austrocochlea constricta, Turbo undulata, Thais orbita and Nerita atramentosa, which are collected by humans for bait and occasionally for food. Sampling was undertaken in May 1990 and February/March 1991 at 6 locations within the Bunurong Marine Park, Victoria. On each sampling occasion the size of 100 snails of each species was measured at each site.

Current meter data obtained from a mooring off Point Perpendicular, Jervis Bay: 05/04/89 - 28/03/90

A current meter mooring was installed at the entrance of Jervis Bay, off Point Perpendicular. This mooring housed 2 current meters, at 12m and 34m. Over a period of approx. 1yr the mooring was deployed 5 times in nominally the same location (as illustrated). Deployment 1,3, 4 &amp; 5 - 35.1 S, 150.797 E. Deployment 2 - 35.0983 S, 150.793 E. Datasets presented here correspond to data retrieved from the two current meters over the year. 
The hourly datasets provide data accumulated from all 5 deployments, and provide details of the eastern &amp; northern tidal components, cross &amp; long-shore velocity components, temperature, salinity and sigma-T.
The subsets to these larger datasets, present individual data points collected at sample intervals of 10 mins (deployment 1) or 15 mins (deployments 2, 3, 4, 5). Compared to the hourly averaged datasets, these allow water movements to be studied over a shorter time scale. The parameters measured include the eastern and northern tidal components, water speed and direction, temperature, salinity and sigma-T.

Scleractinian corals collected during the HMNZS Tui cruises to the southwest Pacific

During two scientific cruises on HMNZS Tui in 1986, fragments of scleractinian corals were collected from rock dredge samples taken from a total of 19 stations in the Cook Islands (Suwarrow, Manihiki, Pukapuka, Tema Reef, Nassau and Rarotonga), Western Samoa (the Machias Seamount) and Niue. Dredge samples were collected at depths ranging from 346m to 4689m. These depths are well beyond the range in which hermatypic corals can grow in the Indo-Pacific.
 Coral fragments were identified in order to determine their origin.
 The April/May 1986 cruise to the Manihiki Plateau and adjacent areas of the SW Pacific was part of a tripartite Programme undertaken by the Governments of New Zealand, Australia and the United States of America in cooperation with the Committee for the Coordination of Joint Prospecting for Mineral Resources in the South Pacific Offshore Areas (CCOP/SOPAC) to carry out a joint programme of marine geoscientific research and mineral resources studies in the South Pacific region. A second cruise was undertaken in July 1986 to the southern Cook Islands.

RAN CTD Profile Data - SMB DUYFKEN ProjectID: HI472DUY_H From: 2010-02-23 To: 2010-04-11

This dataset contains quality controlled vertical profiles of pressure, temperature and salinity measured by a Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) probe. The dataset contains 7 CTD profiles (casts) obtained during RAN Hydrographic Survey cruise HI472DUY_H from SMB DUYFKEN. 
The CTD was manufactured by Falmouth Scientific and is the "2-inch Micro CTD" model. This CTD type is referred to operationally as the HS_CTD. This CTD is fitted within an inductive type conductivity cell, a platinum thermometer and silicon pressure sensor.
The CTD temperature sensor is calibrated on the ITS-90 temperature scale against a master CTD using a controlled temperature bath. The pressure sensor is calibrated using a Druck Pressure Calibrator. The conductivity sensor is calibrated in a temperature controlled bath against seawater samples of known conductivity.
The HS_CTD is lowered and raised by a hand winch sampling at a rate of 1.83 Hz. Data files were recorded in the downcast and upcast direction but most data is from downcasts due to higher quality. Raw CTD pressure data is not always monotonic due to transient up/down motion of winch/ship. Raw pressure data is subsetted to give a monotonic (increasing) sequence and then linearly interpolated to 1 decibar pressure intervals and converted to netCDF format files. Data is then flagged with quality control flags after visual inspection and comparison to average climatology and historical CTD casts.

2016 SoE Marine Chapter - Pressures - Climate Change - Nutrient supply and cycling

The Marine chapter of the 2016 State of the Environment (SoE) report incorporates multiple expert templates developed from streams of marine data. This metadata record describes the Expert Assessment "Pressures on the marine environment associated with climate change - nutrient supply and cycling". The full Expert Assessment, including figures and tables (where provided), is attached to this record. Where available, the Data Stream(s) used to generate this Expert Assessment are accessible through the "On-line Resources" section of this record.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PRESSURE
Macronutrient concentrations (e.g. nitrate and phosphate) in the surface ocean play an important role in controlling the ocean’s primary productivity. The oceans account for about half of the earth’s total primary productivity. Surface ocean waters around Australia typically have low macronutrient concentrations for nitrate and phosphate. The key physical processes supplying nutrients to the upper ocean are the seasonal deepening of the ocean surface mixed layer, the upwelling and vertical mixing associated with ocean eddies, and wind-driven coastal upwelling. In the Australian region, the first two processes dominate because conditions that cause wind-induced upwelling are confined to a few regions (e.g. Bonney upwelling off South Australia). 
As the ocean warms around Australia (Lenton et al, 2015) the upper ocean will become more stratified and the vertical supply of nutrients to the surface ocean could decline (Bopp et al, 2013) reducing primary productivity. However, increased eddy activity due to strengthening of the East Australian Current may compensate for a decline in the vertical nutrient supply in the Tasman Sea and cause an increase in primary productivity with climate change (Matear et al., 2013). 
DATA STREAM(S) USED IN EXPERT ASSESSMENT

IMOS - Deep Water Moorings - Deep Water Arrays (DA) Sub-facility

The Deep Water Arrays (DA) sub-facility targets observations of deep ocean currents and properties needed to monitor and understand the role of the ocean on climate and climate variability. The arrays monitor ocean circulation and property variability in the ocean surrounding Australia and provide estimates of the ocean contribution to the regional and global circulation, heat and freshwater content and change. They will contribute to improved estimates of the regional and global sea level budget, improvements to the climate model simulations via direct comparison with observations, assimilation and development of improved model physics and parameterisations.
This sub-facility includes observational programs based on moored conductivity-temperature-depth sensors and current meter arrays in deep waters that are specifically targeted to monitor formation of Antarctic Bottom Water, interbasin exchange and major boundary currents. 
The Deep Water array sites include :
1) The Adelie Land Coast deep shelf to observe outflows of newly forming Antarctic Bottom water – the Polynya array. Initially the array was deployed near the Mertz glacier, then redeployed near the Totten Glacier (array ceased in 2015). 
2) Timor Passage and Ombia Strait, to monitor the interbasin Indian-Pacific Ocean exchange and the upper limb of the global overturning circulation – the Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) array (array ceased in 2015).
3) The east coast of Australia, near Brisbane, to monitor the East Australian Current transport – the EAC array (array cease in 2022).

Reciprocal transplant experiments of mutagen treated Symbiodiniaceae to ambient and elevated temperatures

We investigated the adaptive responses of coral photosymbionts (Symbiodiniaceae) following chemical mutagenesis and long-term thermal selection.
Strains of Durusdinium trenchii, Fugacium kawagutii and Symbiodinium pilosum were exposed to ethyl methanesulfonate to induce random mutagenesis, and then underwent thermal selection at 31/33&deg;C. After 4.6-5 years of experimental evolution, the in vitro thermal tolerance of these strains was assessed via reciprocal transplant experiments to ambient (27&deg;C) and elevated (31/35&deg;C) temperatures. We measured the growth, photochemical efficiency, oxidative stress and nutrient use of these heat-evolved strains and wild-type strains under both temperature treatments.
This dataset contains data collected during the reciprocal transplant experiments. All the measurements were carried out at the Symbiont Culture Facility at AIMS between 01.10.2021 and 01.05.2022.

Current values collected through the water column using an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) in the centre of Jervis Bay: Summer Deployment

The record describes data collected from a summer deployment of an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) moored in the central part of Jervis Bay, New South Wales (35o 05'S, 150o 44'E). An ADCP measures how fast water is moving across an entire water column. Anchored to the seafloor it can measure current speed not just at the bottom, but also at equal intervals all the way up to the surface. For this experiment, the ADCP was moored on the seabed, in a frame, with sensors looking upwards and approximately 0.5m above the seabed. 
Over the summer deployment, 13th December 1990 to 15th January 1991, the ADCP was set-up with a 15 minute sampling interval and currents were measured over 1m depth bins. Bin numbers and currents are referenced as a height above the seabed (due to the uncertainty in defining water depth because of tides and air pressure). As such Bin #1 is centered at 1.5m above the transducer face or 2.0m above the seabed. Bin #2 is centered at 3m above the seabed, Bin #3 at 4m and so on.  
Three resources are provided: 1) A schematic of depth bin locations for the summer deployment, 2) Unfiltered east/west and north/south current values for every 15 minutes of the experiment, and 3) Low-pass filtered east/west and north/south hourly current values to remove tidal period motion. The filter has a half amplitude response at 32 hours and 48 hourly weights.
