Vestfold Hills penguin colonies digitised from Linhof aerial photography flown 24 November 1993

Aerial photography (Linhof) of penguin colonies was acquired over the Vestfold Hills (Eric Woehler).
The penguin colonies were traced, then digitised (John Cox), and saved as DXF-files.
Using the ArcView extension 'Register and Transform' (Tom Velthuis), The DXF-files were brought into a GIS and transformed to the appropriate islands.

Photosynthetic rates of Antarctic sea-ice algae

From the abstract of one of the papers:
Oxygen microelectrodes were used to measure the photosynthetic rates of Antarctic fast ice algal mats.  Using the oxygen flux across the diffusive boundary layer below the fast ice at Davis, a productivity range of 0-1.78mg C per square metre per hour was measured.  This is at the lower end of fast ice productivity estimates and suggests that conventional carbon 14 techniques may overestimate sea ice algal mat productivity.  Photosynthetic capacity (P max) approached 0.05 mg per C.(mg chlorophyl a) per hr.  Onset of photosynthesis saturation, E k, was found at about 14 micromol photons per square metre per second.  The irradiance of photoinhibition onset, E inh, was about 20 micromol photons per square metre per second and the irradiance at the compensation point, E c, was 4 micromol photons per square metre per second.

Post weaning dispersal and survival in the southern elephant seal

The objectives for this project were:
The project aims to quantify the patterns of dispersal and survival of newly weaned southern elephant seal pups to provide information on position at sea and foraging behaviour of the pups once they leave Macquarie Island, and to examine how this is related to position at sea and foraging behaviour in the second year. This information will be used to test the hypothesis that first year survival is a consequence of the young animals exploiting different foraging grounds to adults, and that fishing activity on the Campbell Plateau may be a contributing factor. In addition, stable isotope analysis and fatty acid signature analysis will be used to examine differences in foraging behaviour from animals while they are at sea.
The raw data from this project is added to the long term database described by the metadata records 'Macquarie Island Elephant Seal Populations 1950-1965', and 'Macquarie Island Elephant Seal Populations 1985 Onwards'.  This database has been taken offline, however.  A snapshot of the database was taken in January, 1995, and is linked at the provided URL.  For access, contact the Australian Antarctic Data Centre.
A number of papers have been produced from this project.  Some of these papers are included in the reference section below.

Aurora Australis Voyage 4 2014/15 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 4 of the Aurora Australis Voyage in the 2014/15 season.
Purpose of voyage: Macquarie Island Resupply

Voyage 1 2023-24 - RSV Nuyina - Icebreaking Trials - Sea Ice Data

During Voyage 1 of the 2023/24 season, RSV Nuyina undertook a series of ice-breaking trials to quantify the performance of the new ice-breaking vessel. This analysis was undertaken by a specialist team from The Hamburg Ship Model Basin, otherwise known as HSVA. As part of this work, the specialist team conducting the analysis took a series of sea ice measurements.
This data set contains the sea ice measurements undertaken during these trials, this included  data gathered from a vessel mounted electro-magnetic device (EM31), data gathered from core samples (ice thickness, snow thickness, flexural strength, air temperature, snow temperature, water temperature, water salinity) and ice thickness photos taken from the vessel during transits.

Use of a spatial expert system shell to develop automated techniques for detection and classification of sea ice in AVHRR imagery

The development of an operational sea ice mapping system. This metadata record refers to the development and testing of an prototype system, ICEMAPPER, to interpret NOAA AVHRR imagery on a semi-automatic basis, off the Southern Ocean near to the Antarctic coast.  
From the abstract of one of the referenced papers:
This paper reports work towards the development of a semi-automated technique for creating sea-ice and cloud maps from Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) images of the Southern Ocean near to the Antarctic coast.  The technique is implemented as a computer-based system which applies a number of classification rules to the five bands of an AVHRR image and classifies each pixel in the image as representing open water, low cloud, high cloud or one of several different sea ice concentration categories.  The map produced by the system is then displayed and an experienced sea ice forecaster evaluates the result.  If it is deemed satisfactory the map is saved on disk.  If not, the expert can alter various parameters within the classification rules to produce a satisfactory map.  Experience so far has shown that judicious, but reasonably minor, changes to the rule parameters can produce a satisfactory sea-ice map relatively quickly in most cases.  The system is also capable of effectively distinguishing cloudy from clear pixels but it does not accurately distinguish high cloud from low cloud in some of the images.  Current work is being undertaken to improve the cloud classification rules.

Comparison of theoretical and laboratory models of ocean wave transmission by a group of ice floes

Although the floating sea ice surrounding the Antarctic damps ocean waves, they may still be detected hundreds of kilometres from the ice edge. Over this distance the waves leave an imprint of broken ice, which is susceptible to winds, currents, and lateral melting. The important omission of wave-ice interactions in ice/ocean models is now being addressed, which has prompted campaigns for experimental data. These exciting developments must be matched by innovative modelling techniques to create a true representation of the phenomenon that will enhance forecasting capabilities.
This metadata record details laboratory wave basin experiments that were conducted to determine:
(i) the wave induced motion of an isolated wooden floe;
(ii) the proportion of wave energy transmitted by an array of 40 floes; and
(iii) the proportion of wave energy transmitted by an array of 80 floes.
Monochromatic incident waves were used, with different wave periods and wave amplitudes.
The dataset provides:
(i) response amplitude operators for the rigid-body motions of the isolated floe; and
(ii) transmission coefficients for the multiple-floe arrays,
extracted from raw experimental data using spectral methods.
The dataset also contains codes required to produce theoretical predictions for comparison with the experimental data. The models are based on linear potential flow theory.
These data models were developed to be applicable to Southern Ocean conditions.
