Role of Antarctic marine protists in trophodynamics and global change and impact of UV-B on these organisms - Rotation 0 of the Astrolabe - 2006/2007 samples

This dataset contains the locations of sampling sites for ASAC project 40 on rotation 0 of the French polar supply ship L'Astrolabe in the 2006/2007 season.  Samples were collected between October and November of 2006.  It also contains the final dataset which has information on chlorophyll, carotenoids, coccolithophorids and species identification and counts.
Public Summary from the project:
This program aims to determine the role of single celled plants, animals, bacteria and viruses in Antarctic waters. We quantify their vital role as food for other organisms, their potential influence in moderating global climate change through absorption of CO2 and production of DMS, and determine their response to effect of climate change.
For more information, see the other metadata records related to ASAC project 40 (ASAC_40).

Sediment bioturbation photographs from the antFOCE (Antarctic Free Ocean Carbon Enrichment) experiment at Casey Station

Refer to antFOCE report section 4.4.5 for deployment, sampling and analysis details.
https://data.aad.gov.au/metadata/records/AAS_4127_antFOCE_Project4127
One camera and flash unit was mounted on the top middle section of each chamber to take one photo of the sediment every 30 minutes. 
The download file contains two folders with the photos taken from the 28th of January to the 23rd of February 2015 – one for Chamber A and one for Chamber C. A video time-lapse compilation of the Chamber A images is also included. Malfunctioning cameras deployed on Chamber A and C and on B and D during this same period and at other times, meant that no useful images were obtained. 
Background 
The antFOCE experimental system was deployed in O'Brien Bay, approximately 5 kilometres south of Casey station, East Antarctica, in the austral summer of 2014/15. Surface and sub-surface (in water below the sea ice) infrastructure allowed controlled manipulation of seawater pH levels (reduced by 0.4 pH units below ambient) in 2 chambers placed on the sea floor over natural benthic communities. Two control chambers (no pH manipulation) and two open plots (no chambers, no pH manipulation) were also sampled to compare to the pH manipulated (acidified) treatment chambers.  
Details of the antFOCE experiment can be found in the report – "antFOCE 2014/15 – Experimental System, Deployment, Sampling and Analysis". This report and a diagram indicating how the various antFOCE data sets relate to each other are available at:

Observations of Sea Ice Thickness and Ablation At Mawson, 1980

Observations of the sea ice near Mawson were carried out in 1980, concentrating on the thickness of the ice at several points, and the accumulation and ablation of snow/ice cover on the ice. The ablation measurements were carried out by laying 23 ablation stakes out in two fields - a set of eight stakes in a straight line, and a set of 15 in a triangle.
Results from both sets of observations were recorded in a log book, currently archived at the Australian Antarctic Division.

Aurora Australis Voyage 2 2016/17 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 2 of the Aurora Australis Voyage in the 2016/17 season.
Purpose of voyage: Casey Resupply, recover and deploy whale mooring, SOTS mooring, krill trawl and SR3 transect.
Leader: Mr. Andy Cianchi
Deputy Leader: Mr. Mike Woolridge
Underway (meteorological) data are available online via the Australian Antarctic Division Data Centre web page (or via the Related URL section).

Underway snowfall measurements during the SIPEX II voyage of the Aurora Australis, 2012

Note - these data should be used with caution.  The chief investigator for the dataset has indicated that a better quality dataset exists, but the AADC have been unable to attain it for archive.
Matlab file containing raw data snowfall data collected aboard the RV Aurora Australis using Campbell Scientific dataloggers.  Two Wenglor brand YHO3NCT8 photoelectric sensors were mounted on the forward railing of the ship's "monkey deck". The beam heights of the sensors were 18cm above the upper railing, oriented parallel to the railing (perpendicular to the long-axis of the ship), approximately 6m apart.  The port sensor was purchased in 2012, from a batch of these sensors manufactured in a new Eastern European factory while the starboard sensor came from a lot purchased in 2007, manufactured in Wenglor's German factory and extensively tested for use in snow.  Pulse counts measured by the port sensor were consistently lower in magnitude than those recorded during the same interval by the starboard sensor.  It is not currently clear whether this was due to the ship's tendency to be oriented with the wind to starboard, or whether this is due to differences in instrument characteristics.  Data recorded between 17/9/2012 and 26/10/2012 was logged by a CR10x datalogger.  Data recorded after 26/10/2012 was logged by a CR1000 datalogger.  Information on converting the pulse-count data into a mass flux of snow is contained in Leonard, K.C. and R.I. Cullather (2008) Snowfall measurements in the Amundsen and Bellingshausen Seas, Antarctica. Proceedings of the Eastern Snow Conference, 65, 87 - 98.
These two datasets are identical, but have been separated into two matlab structures contained in the same "shipsnow.mat" file: "snow" and "snow2".  Data contained in these structures includes the following variables, with units:
Datenm: matlab 'datenumber'.  Change to conventional format using the "datevec()" command
Port: beam interruptions per 10s interval, port-side sensor
Stbd: beam interruptions per 10s interval, starboard-side sensor
Ptemp: temperature of a thermistor mounted beneath the datalogger's wiring panel.  The datalogger was contained in a fiberglass box, strapped into the starboard side observation shelter on the monkey deck.
Volt: voltage received and transmitted by the datalogger.  Power came from a 12v 1Ah converter plugged into the ship's power supply.
The data have also been reformatted into two csv files.

Census of Antarctic Marine Life (CAML) Archive of Project Documentation - CAML_Project_Archive.Documents

The Census of Antarctic Marine Life (CAML) Project Archive is a collection of scanned documents, maps, videos, and other related material that comprise the organisation and management documentation associated with a major research project of international significance. CAML measured the distribution and abundance of life in the Southern Ocean around Antarctica so that future impacts of climate change and human activities can be better understood. CAML coordinated the largest-ever survey of the Southern Ocean with 18 voyages in Antarctic waters, and inventoried over 16,000 marine species with hundreds new to science, provided DNA barcodes for 1,500 species, and has so far produced more than 600 scientific publications. CAML is a key activity of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR); a subproject of the Census of Marine Life (CoML); and was a major initiative of the 2007-2009 International Polar Year (IPY).

Transport and dispersal of selected pollutants in the terrestrial and nearshore marine environments, Casey Station

Metadata record for data from ASAC Project 2179
See the link below for public details on this project.
Taken from a progress report of the project written in 1998:
60 terrestrial sediments have been taken from Wilkes and Thala Valley tip, with control sites at Robinsons Ridge and Jacks Donga. 50 marine sediments have been taken from the bay offshore from Thala Valley tip. 116 fresh and marine waters have been taken from the fresh water stream flowing through the Thala Valley tip, the tip/sea interface, and the nearshore marine offshore from Thala Valley tip and control sites. Formal integration of these data into a GIS is underway.
These data have not been archived until 2012, hence the only data available were sourced from publications arising from the project.

Marine water temperatures around Casey station - December 2003

Water temperatures were recorded by Tidbit temperature loggers attached to experimental mesocosms suspended below the sea ice at four sites around Casey in summer 2003/04. Data are temperature in degrees Celsius automatically logged every 5 minutes between the 01/12/2003 and 31/12/2003 at Brown Bay inner (S66 16.811 E110 32.475) and McGrady Cove (S66 16.556 E110 34.392), and between 02/12/2003 and 01/01/2004 at Brown Bay outer (S66 16.811 E110 32.526) and O'Brien Bay (S66 18.730 E110 30.810). Three loggers were deployed at each site; loggers A and B - one attached to each of two mesocosms (perforated 20 litre food buckets) and another - logger I - attached to plastic tubing approximately 1 metre above the mesocosms. Only two data loggers (A and B) were deployed at Mcgrady Cove. Mesocosms were suspended two to three metres below the bottom edge of the sea ice through a 1 metre diameter hole and were periodically raised to the surface for short periods (~1 hour). This experiment was part of the short-term biomonitoring program for the Thala Valley Tip Clean-up at Casey during summer 2003/04.
These data were collected as part of ASAC project 2201 (ASAC_2201 - Natural variability and human induced change in Antarctic nearshore marine benthic communities).
