Extractable element data for surface seabed sediments in Jervis Bay, NSW (August 2008 and February 2009)

Geoscience Australia carried out marine surveys in Jervis Bay (NSW) in 2007, 2008 and 2009 (GA303, GA305, GA309, GA312) to map seabed bathymetry and characterise benthic environments through colocated sampling of surface sediments (for textural and biogeochemical analysis) and infauna, observation of benthic habitats using underwater towed video and stills photography, and measurement of ocean tides and wavegenerated currents. Data and samples were acquired using the Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO) Research Vessel Kimbla. Bathymetric mapping, sampling and tide/wave measurement were concentrated in a 3x5 km survey grid (named Darling Road Grid, DRG) within the southern part of the Jervis Bay, incorporating the bay entrance. Additional sampling and stills photography plus bathymetric mapping along transits was undertaken at representative habitat types outside the DRG. This 81 sample dataset comprises acidextractable concentrations of trace elements (Fe, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ge, As, Cd and Pb) in surface seabed sediments (~0 to 2 cm) from Jervis Bay. This dataset is a contribution to the CERF Marine Biodiversity Hub.

Population monitoring of Holothuria scabra (sandfish) on Warrior Reef, Torres Strait 2002

The sandfish on Warrior Reef were surveyed in October 2002 including a resurvey of sites examined in 1995/6, 1998 and 2000. This showed that the population had continued to recover, but was still seriously depleted and we are not yet able to recommend its reopening. However, the density of the breeding cohort was the strongest ever surveyed, so we might hope for a strong recruitment in 2004. We did observe a significant change in the distribution of sandfish on Warrior Reef that may be related to habitat changes in the northern section of Warrior Reef.

RV Investigator Voyage IN2024_V04 ADCP Data

This record describes the Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) data collected from the Marine National Facility RV Investigator voyage IN2024_V04, titled: "Linking East Australian Current dynamics and submarine canyon geomorphology to marine ecosystem hotspots." The voyage took place between June 07, 2024 and July 03, 2024 (AEST), departing from Sydney and returning to Brisbane.
The ADCP was run for most of the voyage, though it was turned off when EK80 surveys were being performed to avoid creating interference in the EK80 data.
ADCP data were collected using the University of Hawaii Data Acquisition System (UHDAS) and post-processed using the Common Ocean Data Access System (CODAS).
The RDI Ocean Surveyor 150kHz ADCP and RDI Ocean Surveyor 75kHz ADCP were run in narrowband mode for the bulk of the voyage.
Internal triggering was used.
The drop keel was set at 2m below the hull for the duration of the voyage. The nominal transducer depth is set to 6 meters, any additional changes will need to be applied by the user if they believe it is required.
Bottom tracking was run for the first hour of the voyage on the OS150nb to aid in calibrations.
A new OS75 ADCP was installed during the port period prior to this voyage (IN2024_P04) to replace the previous instrument. Calibration of the new OS75 was performed at the start of the voyage. The calibration required the ship to traverse east to west, then west to east at 4, 7 and 10 knots. This was then repeated north to south and south to north. The OS75 and OS150 recorded in broadband and narrowband during this time. Partners at University of Hawaii then used the data to calculate the transducer offset and provide calibration configuration. Only narrowband mode was used after calibrations were completed, so data collected in broadband mode were not processed. 
For more information please see the Processing Report (linked below).
This dataset was processed (quality-controlled), and then archived by the CSIRO National Collections and Marine Infrastructure (NCMI) Information and Data Centre (IDC).

WAMSI Node 1.1.2 - Spatial and Seasonal Variability in Microphytobenthos and Macroalgal Primary Productivity and Nutrient Dynamics

Despite the apparent importance of microphytobenthos and macroalgal populations as primary producers, primary productivity data and particularly data investigating the controls on primary productivity in WA shelf waters are sparse. We have investigated microphytobenthoc and macroalgal primary productivity in Marmion Lagoon by measuring oxygen evolution during a number of targeted incubations.

CSIRO ERA40 - Reanalysis dataset (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts Re-Analysis) 1957-2002

The ECMWF (European Center for Medium range Weather Forecasts) ERA-40 model uses a variational data assimilation system to make a new synthesis of the in-situ and remotely-sensed measurements made worldwide over the period since mid-1957. It produces the basic analysed conventional meteorological wind, temperature and humidity variables as well as stratospheric ozone, ocean-wave and soil conditions. The CSIRO archive contains monthly data for variables concatenated into a single contiguous netcdf file for the time period 1957-2002 with a spatial resolution of 2.5° x 2.5° and has also been further processed to include calculated Anomaly, Climatology and Seasonal forms of this dataset. Trend analysis data is available for specific variables.

Sea Temperature Monthly and Annual Means in the Northern Marine Region

Temperature, linearly interpolated from CARS2000 mean and seasonal fields to 0.1 degree spaced grid, at depths of 0, 150, 500, 1000 and 2000 metres. The loess filter used to create CARS2000 resolves at each point a mean value and a sinusoid with 1 year period (and in some cases a 6 month period sinusoid - the "semi-annual cycle".) The provided "annual amplitude" is simply the magnitude of that annual sinusoid. CARS is a set of seasonal maps of temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, nitrate, phosphate and silicate, generated using Loess mapping from all available oceanographic data in the region. It covers the region 100-200E, 50-0S, on a 0.5 degree grid, and on 56 standard depth levels. Higher resolution versions are also available for the Australian continental shelf. The data was obtained from the World Ocean Atlas 98 and CSIRO Marine and NIWA archives. It was designed to improve on the Levitus WOA98 Atlas, in the Australian region. CARS2000 is derived from ocean cast data, which is always measured above the seafloor. However, for properties which do not change rapidly near the seafloor, this would not lead to a significant error. All the limitations of CARS2000 also apply here.

South East Fishery (SEF) Ecosystem Study 1993-1996: Benthic Faunal Survey Data

This record describes the benthic assemblage survey data collected as part of the 1993-1996 South East Fishery Ecosystem Study undertaken by CSIRO Division of Fisheries. Benthic sled tows (c.4 per survey) were carried out at selected locations on transects across the continental shelf and in intensive survey areas in eastern Bass Strait, south-west Victoria, and south-west NSW waters. Data were collected in July 1993 (cruise SS 05/93), August 1994 (cruise SS 05/94), April 1996 (cruise SS 02/96) and November 1996 (cruise SS 06/96). Large collections of benthic invertebrates were identified and many photographed. As part of the analysis stage of the project, these assemblages wil be related to substrate characteristics on the one hand and fish faunal assemblages on the other.

Cape Grim Air Archive

The Cape Grim Baseline Air Pollution Station facility, located at the North/West tip of Tasmania (40° 41'S, 144° 41'E), is funded and managed by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, with the scientific program being jointly supervised with CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research. This archive contains 1000 litre air samples contained in stainless steel flasks collected at approximately 3 monthly intervals since 1978. The archive is housed at the Aspendale laboratory of CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research. The Cape Grim air archive is invaluable in determining the past atmospheric composition of a wide range of gases. For some of these gases, accurate and precise analytical methods have only recently evolved (for example HFCs and PFCs). The measurements are state-of-the-art in precision and accuracy. They are used to identify trace gas trends in the Southern Hemisphere, which in turn can be used to drive climate change models and identify processes that influence changes to the atmosphere.
