RV Investigator Voyage IN2023_V01 ADCP Data

This record describes the Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) data collected from the Marine National Facility RV Investigator voyage IN2023_V01, titled: "Antarctic Bottom Water production in the past: Records from marine sediments, Cape Darnley, East Antarctica." The voyage took place between January 25, 2023 and March 2, 2023 (AEST), departing from Fremantle and returning to Hobart.
This voyage had two main scientific objectives. First, to understand past changes in Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) production using long sediment cores from the continental slope over multiple warm periods during the Pleistocene. Second, to develop an improved bathymetry model to support oceanographic modelling of AABW pathways. Sediment core records of previous warmer interglacial will provide an analogue for understanding the impact of any future changes in bottom water production associated with a warming climate.
This report describes the production of quality-controlled ADCP data from RV Investigator voyage IN2023_V01.
The OS150 unit was run for the majority part of the voyage whilst the OS75 was run for parts of  the voyage.
The OS75 showed unusual behaviour where the data depth was half the expected value at around 350m with low data quality. On-board investigation discovered that beams 1 and 2 of the OS75 unit were severely degraded and the fault was attributed to the likely failure of the ceramic arrays.
ADCP data were collected using the University of Hawaii Data Acquisition System (UHDAS) and post-processed using the Common Ocean Data Access System (CODAS). Documentation for these systems can be found in (Hummon, 2009-2021).
Both the RDI Ocean Surveyor 150kHz ADCP and the RDI Ocean Surveyor 75kHz ADCP were run in narrowband mode.
Internal triggering was used.
The drop keel (port) extension was set at below the waterline as detailed:
2m from the voyage start until 11-Feb-2023 09:20:05 UTC,
0m (Zero) from 11-Feb-2023 09:21:30 to 21-Feb-2023 23:24:15 UTC and
2m from 21-Feb-2023 23:25:05UTC to the end of the voyage.
There were several gaps in the OS75 ADCP data due to the investigation on board related to the fault discussed above and the reduction in the usual data quality resulted in extra processing effort being required. Apart from the usual data cleaning, there were no significant ADCP processing-related issues in relation to the OS150 data.
To access the full voyage plan and other reports and data associated with this voyage, please see the contact information at the end of this report.
This dataset was processed (quality-controlled), and then archived by the CSIRO National Collections and Marine Infrastructure (NCMI) Information and Data Centre (IDC).

RV Investigator Voyage IN2018_V02 CTD Data

This record describes the Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) data collected from the Marine National Facility RV Investigator voyage IN2018_V02, titled: "SOTS: Southern Ocean Time Series automated moorings for climate and carbon cycle studies south west Tasmania; Subantarctic Biogeochemistry of Carbon and Iron." The voyage took place between March 3 and March 21, 2018 departing from Hobart (TAS) and arriving in Hobart.
Data for 7 deployments were acquired using the Seabird SBE911 CTD unit 24, fitted with 36 twelve litre bottles on the rosette sampler. Samples were collected on casts 2-6. Sea-Bird-supplied calibration factors were used to compute the pressures and preliminary conductivity values. CSIRO -supplied calibrations were applied to the temperature data. The data were subjected to automated QC to remove spikes and out-of-range values.
The final conductivity calibration for each deployment was calculated using the sensors with the lowest residuals when compared with the values measured by the hydrochemistry team. The final calibration from chosen sensors all had a standard deviation (S.D) less than our target of ‘better than 0.002 PSU’. The standard product of 1dbar binned averaged were produced using data from the primary conductivity and temperature sensors and the secondary oxygen sensor.
The dissolved oxygen data calibration generally showed a good agreement between the CTD and bottle data.
A Biospherical photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), Wetlabs transmissometer, Chelsea fluorometer and the Wetlabs ECO chlorophyll and Eco-scattering sensors were also installed on the auxiliary A/D channels of the CTD. An IMU and LADCP unit was also attached to the rosette for all casts.
The collected data were subsequently processed and archived within the CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere (O&amp;A) Information and Data Centre (IDC) in Hobart. Additional information regarding this dataset may be contained in the Voyage Summary and the CTD Data Processing Report.

Western Rock Lobster Habitat Data 7 Mile Beach Western Australia 1986-1990

This dataset contains the results from habitat preference experiments of the post-puerulus stage of the western rock (spiny) lobster Panulirus cygnus, at 7 mile beach (Geraldton region), Western Australia. Diving surveys were conducted and the natural habitat of the post-puerulus were discovered. A variety of artificial habitats were deployed and surveys of the response of the post-pueruli to transferral between shelters was evaluated. Two designs of artificial shelter were successfully utilised by post-pueruli. Results have shown that the post-puerulus preferred to shelter in small holes on the face, ledges and in caves on coastal limestone reefs they also preferred additional cover, typically seagrass and/or algae. Surveys were conducted between October 1986 and December 1990.

CSIRO GASLAB - CO (Carbon Monoxide) analysis datasets - Global Atmospheric Sampling Laboratory - Flask Sampling Network

The CSIRO Global Atmospheric Sampling Laboratory (GASLAB) Flask Sampling Network archive for the atmospheric trace gas carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations. GASLAB principally analyzes air samples that have been captured at eleven fixed geographic sites and one moving (aircraft over bass strait and Cape Grim), but also includes other sites at various locations globally on a less regular or as needed basis. The flask air sample is analyzed for the 5 atmospheric trace gases Methane (CH4), Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Hydrogen (H2) and N2O (Nitrous Oxide). Data about the relative concentrations of these are particularly important for Global Warming studies as CO2 and CH4 are the two most effective anthropogenic greenhouse gases; CO and H2 influencing concentrations of the hydroxyl radical (OH), thereby affecting the main sink for atmospheric CH4. H2 is produced in a sequence of reactions following the reaction of OH with CH4. Measurements of CO oncentrations are made through the use of a Gas Chromatograph with a mercuric oxide reduction gas detector &#8220;RGA3-1&#8221; (R1). There are 6 differant types of flask that are used to store and transport air samples from site and in the labratory:(i) glass 0.5 litre ("G050"), (ii) glass 5.0 litre ("G500"), (iii) glass 0.8 litre ("G080"), (iv) electropolished stainless steel 1.6 litre "Sirocans" ("S160"), (v) glass 2.0 litre, 1 stopcopck ("F", "FF", "FA", "FE", "EP", ALT"), (vi) glass 2.0 litre, 2 stopcocks(&#8220;M1&#8221;, &#8220;S&#8221;, &#8220;P2&#8221;, &#8220;TEMP&#8221;). Files containing a single species value for each sample are denoted by a filename of the form (XXX_XXXX_event.XXX), for the geographically fixed sites data is also provided in the form of monthly means (e.g. XXX_XXXX_mm.XXX) with all fies being in ascii format.

Torres Strait Reef Resource Inventory 1995-1996

A field survey was done on the reefs of Torres Strait in February 1995, November 1995 and February 1996. A total of 1,274 sites were sampled with a 20 m by 2 m transect line by divers on the tops of 43 reefs. A total of 374 sites were also sampled by divers along the edges of 41 reefs. At all sites the percentage cover of sand, rubble, live coral and boulders was recorded as were the percentage cover of the dominant and conspicuous sessile flora and faunal megabenthos. Holothurians, giant clams, pearl shells and other large gastropods and conspicuous solitary megafauna were counted and the holothurians were returned to the dinghy and weighed to provide estimates of abundance and biomass.
The habitats on the reefs of Torres Strait were classified by image analysis of Landsat TM satellite data. The habitats were characterised (ground-truthed) in terms of the dominant benthos and labelled based on the data collected during three field surveys.
There were seven main habitat types identified from analysis of the field data and classified satellite imagery: exposed sand; shallow bare sand; mixed sand and hard substrate / coral; shallow rubble and algae / seagrass; medium depth sand and algae; and deep reef edge or lagoon / coral. The field data also indicated that the reefs in Torres Strait were grouped into three main regions: the ribbon reefs along the outside edge of the Great Barrier reef; midshelf reefs up to but excluding the Warrior reef complex; and the reefs on the Oriomo shelf in central Torres Strait including the Warrior reefs, Dungeness reefs and reefs further west along the band of continental islands running north from Cape York to Mabuiag Island mid way across Torres Strait. A series of maps were produced to show the distribution and abundance of reef habitats and the megabenthos sampled on the reefs of Torres Strait. The maps were also stored in digital form in the Torres Strait GIS and are available for further research and monitoring and fisheries management.
