Recruitment Tile Motile Fauna data from the antFOCE (Antarctic Free Ocean Carbon Enrichment) experiment at Casey Station

Refer to antFOCE report section 4.5.1 for deployment, sampling and analysis details.
https://data.aad.gov.au/metadata/records/AAS_4127_antFOCE_Project4127
The download file contains an Excel workbook with one data spreadsheet and one of notes relevant to the data. The data are the total number of each motile organism collected from 2 recruitment tiles deployed in chambers or open plots during the antFOCE experiment. The 2 tiles were deployed together in a metal stand in either a horizontal or vertical orientation.
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:

Predicted seabed gravel, mud and sand content in the Timor Sea region in the Australian continental EEZ 2018

This dataset provides the spatially continuous data of seabed gravel (sediment fraction &gt;2000 µm), mud  (sediment fraction &lt; 63 µm) and sand content (sediment fraction 63-2000 µm) expressed as a weight percentage ranging from 0 to 100%, presented in 10 m resolution raster grids format and ascii text file. 
The dataset covers the eight areas in the Timor Sea region in the Australian continental EEZ.
This dataset supersedes previous predictions of sediment gravel, mud and sand content for the basin with demonstrated improvements in accuracy. Accuracy of predictions varies with sediment types, with a VEcv = 71% for mud, VEcv = 72% sand and VEcv = 42% for gravel. Artefacts occur in this dataset as a result of noises associated predictive variables (e.g., horizontal and vertical lines resulted from predictive variables derived from backscatter data are the most apparent ones). To obtain the most accurate interpretation of sediment distribution in these areas, it is recommended that noises with backscatter data should be reduced and predictions updated.
This research is supported by the National Environmental Science Program (NESP) Marine Biodiversity Hub through Project D1.

Comparative Diving Ecology Across Southern Ocean Marine Predators - Seals and Penguins

This study was carried out by Giulia Roncon as part of her PhD at IMAS. The study employed both archival and contemporary diving data, collected by six species of marine predators (three penguins and three seal species) from the Eastern Antarctic sector of the Southern Ocean, to clarify key questions, such as (i) are there differences and/or commonalities regarding the diving physiology and ecology of marine predators, and (ii) what are the main determinants and constrains that characterise the underwater behaviour of air-breathing vertebrates.
This dataset is a compilation of data of several different studies carried out by different research teams in various locations and at various times. All TDRs were archival loggers that had to be retrieved to obtain the data. Thus, the animals had to be captured twice (deployment and retrieval). Details about the types of tags are listed in the dataset.
Species used in the study were:
Adelie Penguins
Emperor Penguins
King Penguins
Fur Seals
Southern Elephant Seals
Weddell Seals

Sea ice data - Bio-optics and physics measurements from Scott Base and McMurdo Sound 2014

As part of Australian Antarctic Science project # 4298 and Antarctica New Zealand project K131A, a total number of 24 sea ice sites were sampled for bio-optical measurements along 2 transects on land-fast sea ice in McMurdo Sound (Antarctica) during November 2014. Measurements included hyperspectral surface irradiance measurements (TriOS ASS) as well as under-ice radiance measurements using a TriOS ARC (350 – 900 nm, 3.3 nm resolution) radiometer mounted to an L-arm. After completion of radiometric measurements, snow thickness was measured with a ruler and an ice core was collected directly above the radiometer location. Sea-ice freeboard (tape measure) and ice thickness (ice core length) were recorded. Ice core (9 cm internal diameter) bottom sections (lowermost 0.1 m of ice cores) were collected and were used for determination of algal pigment content (using HPLC) and spectral ice algal absorption coefficients (ap, ad, aph). Sea ice physical properties including vertical profiles of ice temperature and salinity profiles were collected at some specific locations along the transects, which were sampled near Little Razorback Island and near Cape Evans, McMurdo Sound.

AAD Hydroacoustics hard disks - data collected from Southern Ocean cruises 1993-2004

Hydroacoustics data obtained from Australian Antarctic Division voyages from 1993 to 2004.  Voyages were made to various locations within the Southern Ocean.  Data are stored on 14 hard disks, 1 CD-R and 1 DVD-R for archiving in a secure storage area.
A catalogue describing what data are held on each media is available for download from the provided URL.
The hard disks in the archive box are labelled as 'Status 1'.
These data were collected under several ASAC projects - ASAC 357 (Hydroacoustic Determination of the Abundance and Distribution of Krill in the Region of Prydz Bay, Antarctica) and ASAC 1250 (Krill flux, acoustic methodology and penguin foraging - an integrated study) - ASAC_357 and ASAC_1250.
2008-11-07
Note - all Australian Antarctic Division hydroacoustic data have now been collated on the AAD Storage Area Network (SAN).  This digital collection supersedes the collection of hard disks, and comprises (as of now) the sum total of all AAD hydroacoustic data.  Ideally as more hydroacoustic data are collected by AAD vessels, they will be added to the SAN.  See the metadata record entitled "Hydroacoustic data collected from Southern Ocean Cruises by the Australian Antarctic Division" for more information.

Sea Ice Observation Log For Davis, 1993

Four ice monitoring stations were set up at Davis in 1993 (a fifth station was added after the first two months), with regular recordings of ice depth, snow cover and ablation made for each station by taking a sea ice core. Observations of the general condition of the drilled cores were also recorded.
Observations were made at irregular intervals (roughly every 1-2 weeks). The observations for each individual day are listed, along with a summary table.
These records are stored as handwritten files, and are archived at the Australian Antarctic Division.
