GEOMACS (Geological and Oceanographic Model of Australias Continental Shelf) Q25

Geoscience Australias GEOMACS model was utilised to produce hindcast hourly time series of continental shelf (~20 to 300 m depth) bed shear stress (unit of measure: Pascal, Pa) on a 0.1 degree grid covering the period March 1997 to February 2008 (inclusive). The hindcast data represents the combined contribution to the bed shear stress by waves, tides, wind and density-driven circulation. Included in the parameters that represent the magnitude of the bulk of the data are the quartiles of the distribution; Q25, Q50 and Q75 (i.e. the values for which 25, 50 and 75 percent of the observations fall below). Q25, or the 0.25 Quartile of the Geomacs output, represents the values for which 25% of the observations fall below (Hughes and Harris 2008). This dataset is a contribution to the CERF Marine Biodiversity Hub and is hosted temporarily by CMAR on behalf of Geoscience Australia.

SeaWiFS Chlorophyll Mean

This data set contains the mean of SeaWiFS chlorophyll generated from the climatology monthly means; the monthly climatologies represent the mean values for each month across the whole dataset time series. Chlorophyll a is a plant pigment which provides a measurement of the biomass (or quantity) of plants. In the water column, it is a measure of the suspended (or planktonic) biomass of single-celled microscopic plants. Chlorophyll is a commonly used measure of water quality. High levels of chlorophyll represent algal blooms. The data are received as monthly composites, with a 4 km resolution, and are constrained to the region between 90E and 180E, and 10N to 60S. The data was sourced from http://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/SeaWiFS/. This dataset is a contribution to the CERF Marine Biodiversity Hub.

Status and recovery of deep-sea coral communities on seamounts in iconic Australian marine reserves - Image Data

Australia has gazetted an ambitious national network of Commonwealth Marine Reserves that includes the iconic Huon and Tasman Fracture reserves off Tasmania where seamounts (‘undersea mountains’) support unique deep-water coral reefs. These reefs rank among the most bio-diverse globally. 
Protection of deep-water coral reefs is a high-priority conservation concern nationally and internationally because deep-water corals are very fragile, easily impacted by human activities including bottom trawling, and are believed to recover very slowly. These corals may also be highly vulnerable to climate change because projected changes in water chemistry could limit the ability of corals to build calcareous skeletons.
Despite these concerns, and Australia’s significant investment in marine conservation, several fundamental ecological issues remain to be evaluated. These include defining the spatial extent of deep-sea coral communities inside and outside the Tasmanian reserves, and evaluating the resilience of the communities to bottom trawling.  This information is important to understanding the dynamics of deep-sea communities globally, and for developing and implementing conservation management plans.
The survey aboard RV Investigator set out to determine the spatial extents of deep-sea coral communities in and adjacent to the Huon and Tasman Fracture reserves, and quantify changes in the communities by comparing samples taken in 2018 to samples taken, using similar methods, in 2007 and 1997. There was supplementary sampling on the heavily trawled St. Helens Seamount which was surveyed in 2008.
This metadata record refers to the image data collected during the survey. 
The imagery collected for this project have been registered to the 2018 incidence of the CSIRO  VARS database, where annotations have been added.
The annotations collected for this project have also been linked to the Oracle data base BHIMAGE and the associated videos and still images have been archived as described in MarLIN record 14436 'Benthic Habitats Video Image Archive'.

RV Investigator Voyage IN2019_T02 ADCP Data

This record describes the Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) data collected from the Marine National Facility RV Investigator voyage IN2019_T02, titled: "Deep seascapes of the Great Barrier Reef: Uncovering submarine canyons and landslides." The voyage took place between October 4 and October 14, 2019 departing from Brisbane (QLD) and arriving in Darwin (NT).
ADCP data was only collected from 3 October to 5 October. After this time the transducers were switched off so as not to interfere with other transducers while seafloor mapping was being undertaken. 
Data was collected using UHDAS and post-processed using CODAS. 
The RDI Ocean Surveyor 150kHz and 75kHz ADCP were both run in narrowband. They were run from approximately 19:00 UTC 3 October to 12:45 UTC 5 October 2019 and then again briefly from 13:45 11 October to 17:00 11 October. Data for the 11 October has been removed from the data products due its limited value - the short elapsed time and the shallow (approximately 60m) depth. 
Internal triggering was used. 
The drop keel was at 2m extension (8.54m below centre of reference) during the data collection period. 
Please refer to the voyage computing and electronics reports for more details regarding data acquisition.
This dataset was processed and then archived within the CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere (O&amp;A) Information and Data Centre (IDC) in Hobart.

WAMSI Node 1.2.1 - Abundance, Size and Biomass of Benthic Organisms (Sponges and Corals)

Between Dec 06 and Feb 07 the number and size (estimated maximum diametre cm) of sessile invertebrates (sponges, corals) were recorded across 14 different habitat types within Marmion lagoon. 16 sites within 4 locations (inshore, inner-mid, outer-mid, offshore)were surveyed using 1 x 25m UVC belt transects. Survey data has been used to investigate the abundances of potentially important fauna across differeing habitat types and have confirmed that patch structure is an important and ubiquitous characteristic of Marmion Lagoon benthic communities, with strong implications for biodiversity and productivity.

Backscatter grid of the northern side of the Darling Road survey area of Jervis Bay

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.

TT 01/2008 - ROV Jason cruise tn228: South and East of Tasmania

The collaborative voyage, on RV Thomas G Thompson, including US and Australian researchers was led by chief scientists Dr Jess Adkins from the California Institute of Technology and Dr Ron Thresher from CSIRO's Climate Adaptation and Wealth from Oceans Flagships. This voyage follows up on work done on RV Southern Surveyor during SS 01/2008. The survey deployed the ROV Jason in the Huon and Tasman Fracture Commonwealth Marine Reserve, south-west of Tasmania, It also sampled areas of the Cascade Seamount and seamounts off the coast at St Helens (Tas). The focus of the survey was collection of fossil corals (Desmophyllum sp.), description of habitats at depth between 700 and 4000 m depth and establishing two long-term monitoring sites in the Huon CMR (settlement plates). It explored and sampled on the near vertical slice in the earth's crust, known as the Tasman Fracture Zone, which drops from approximately 2000 metres to over 4000 metres. Jason was used to collect video, high definition still images (mosaiced images) and selective samples of fossil corals and invertebrate fauna.
