RAN CTD Profile Data - HMAS MELVILLE ProjectID: HI399MEL_H From: 2000-11-01 To: 2004-12-16

This dataset contains quality controlled vertical profiles of pressure, temperature and salinity measured by a Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) probe. The dataset contains 48 CTD profiles (casts) obtained during RAN Hydrographic Survey cruise HI399MEL_H from HMAS MELVILLE. 
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.

SAIMOS - Biological and Flow Cytometry data collected from CTD stations in South Australia, in May 2020

Flow cytometry data was collected in May 2020, 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 (DCM) 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), SAM2CP/B4 (35.168S, 135.418E) and SAM5CB/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. Since July 2019, sampling has also been conducted at "Gulf" sites: Upper Spencer Gulf (USG) and Gulf St Vincent (GSV), with the original sites identified as "Shelf" sites.

Oxygen isotope (18-O) values for 5 different foraminiferal species down the core of GC12, collected from the Capricorn Channel

A gravity core (GC12) was collected from a depth of 990.5 mbsl within the Capricorn Channel, southern Great Barrier Reef (GBR). The 18-O values of the different foraminiferal species down the depth of the core show relatively consistent inter-species offsets throughout the glacial and interglacial periods. This provides us with confidence that the 5 individual species presumably remained within the same water mass. Because each foraminifera species fractionate carbon and oxygen isotopes differently, amended 18-O values are given whenever possible to account for these well-known biological vital effects. Comparison of the 18-O values with SPECMAP (Martinson et al., 1987) provides us with a chronology for core GC12.

The concentration of metals in the northern Adriatic anchovy (Engraulis encrasicholus) and the sardine (Sardina pilchardus) from the northern Adriatic Sea, Croatia

Northern Adriatic anchovies (Engraulis encrasicholus) and the sardine (Sardina pilchardus), were sampled from catches landed at the Mirna Cannery in Rovinj, Yugoslavia (now Croatia), during the 1972 fishing season (June to December) and part of the 1973 fishing season (March to June).Fish were usually caught using night light and purse seine 12-18 hours earlier, within 15-30 km of Rovinj. Each sample consisted of a minimum of six and up to sixty specimens of each species. The standard length and weight of each fish was measured. Fish were then dissected into component parts: skin (including scales), gills, muscle, digestive tract, liver, kidney, gonads and brain. For each species, these components were then pooled according to type, weighed, dried to a constant weight at 110°C, ground to homogeneous meal in a porcelain mortar, and stored in a glass desiccator until analyzed.After further processing, samples were analysed for mercury, copper, nickel, silver, cadmium and lead using a Perkin-Elmer 303 atomic absorption spectrophotometer.
 This study was initiated to gather baseline information on the levels of mercury, copper, nickel, silver, cadmium and lead in different tissues of the sardine, Sardina pilchardus, and the anchovy, Engraulis encrasicholus, harvested from the northern Adriatic Sea. Seasonal variation in levels of these metals was also investigated.
 At the time that this research was carried out, the shallow northern region of the Adriatic Sea received industrial wastes from large industrial centers located along the eastern coast at Rijeka and Pula, Yugoslavia (now Croatia), and more extensive industrial concentrations on the Gulf of Trieste and the western coast near Venice, Italy. The Reno, Po, Adige, and Isonzo rivers also discharged their industrial pollutant loads into the northern Adriatic.

Photographic documentation of the aeolian sand transported landward during the 8th June 2007 storm event at Bondi, and the clean-up effort of Waverley Council

Friday 8th June 2007 saw a severe weather warning from the Bureau of Meterology. They warned of winds gusting to 90kph, flash flooding, waves exceeding 5m in the surf zone and significant beach erosion. It was dubbed a 30-year storm, and came as a costly reminder of the devasting power of the natural environment. These photographic images were taken on Wednesday 13th June and illustrate some of the impacts of the storm on Sydneys beaches, and the response of local councils in the clean-up effort.

Heron Island Sensor Relay Pole 6 (RP6)

A series of six 6m steel poles have been installed in the lagoon of Heron Island as part of the sensor network deployment at Heron Island. The poles serve two purposes; their primary purpose is to form the backbone of a wireless network that covers the entire lagoon system and secondly they themselves support a range of sensors mounted onto the pole or leading away from the pole. One pole (RP5) also supports a Vaisala WXT520 weather station.This record is for Sensor Relay Pole 6. The pole is solar powered and routes data from the Sensor Floats and other Sensor Relay Poles back to the Base Station located on Heron Island. The system uses the Campbell Scientific CR1000 loggers and RF411 Spread-Spectrum radios to process and route the data. The poles also can support a range of sensors, this pole also has a simple bottom mounted thermistor using the MEA thermistors.The unit will be serviced every six months and will be used in the future for attaching new sets of sensors.
 The pole works primarily as a network repeater, it collects data from other poles and the Sensor Floats and routes it back to the Base Station either directly or via another pole. The poles are spaced approximately every two kilometers with the exception of those closest to the island, the base station on the island is on a 19M tower and so a greater range was found for the first set of poles.Each pole therefore provides a wireless data network in a two kilometer radius, the combination of the six poles provides coverage for the entire lagoon. The height of the base station gives around a five kilometre range around the island itself.The poles are 6M in height constructed from galvanized steel with a solar powered instrument top consisting of a battery unit powered from the solar panels, Campbell CR1000 logger and Campbell RF411 radio. The logger can support a range of interfaces and is suitable for connection to a range of instruments.The initial instrumentation is just a single base mounted MEA thermistor, the intention is to add more instruments as time and opportunity allow.
