These data consist of the combined Phytoplankton and Zooplankton data, and are distributed to the Global Alliance of Continuous Plankton Recorder Surveys (GACs - http://www.globalcpr.org). Data are distributed using the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) Integrated Publishing Toolkit (IPT), and are comprised of three related datasets:
Metadata:  AusCPR_METADATA
Event Data:  AusCPR_EVENTDATA
Occurrence Data:  AusCPR_OCCURRENCEDATA

Context:
Phytoplankton and Zooplankton abundance records:  The Australian Continuous Plankton Recorder (AusCPR) survey is a joint project between CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere (O&amp;A) and the Australian Antarctic Division (AAD) to measure plankton communities as a guide to the health of Australia's oceans. 
Details on how phytoplankton and zooplankton abundance data were analysed are described in the metadata links above.
It is advised that anyone using the data should first read this methodology or contact the project contact person. The aims of the AusCPR survey are to: * map plankton biodiversity and distribution * develop the first long-term plankton baseline for Australian waters * document plankton changes in response to climate change * provide indices for fisheries management * detect harmful algal blooms * validate satellite remote sensing * initialise and test ecosystem models.  Servicing and maintenance of the CPRs and analysis of the samples for the AusCPR survey will be carried out by staff based at the CSIRO O&amp;A laboratories in Queensland and Tasmania, and at the AAD in Hobart. 
The project was funded by the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) and falls with the Ships of Opportunity facility. Data storage and access is planned to be interoperable with other national and international programs through the IMOS Infrastructure. Results from the AusCPR survey are available through the AODN portal: https://portal.aodn.org.au.  
For information on using the data please refer to the Richardson et al. 2006. As the taxonomic resolution of the data has changed over time, due to continual training, it is important that users refer to the change log tables included in your data download. These will provide information on the validity of the taxa, from what date we have been identifying certain taxa etc. Classification fields may be blank depending on the level to which that taxa has been identified, i.e. if only identified to family, genus and species will be blank. This data is freely available but please acknowledge all relevant parties, as detailed in acknowledgement section.

CSIRO Dawn to 2100 SRESA1B hfls - GCM Surface upward latent heat flux datasets and trends 1850 to 2100 using the SRESA1B Scenario

The CSIRO Dawn-2100 archive contains datasets for atmospheric, land and oceanographic variables for the approximate period 1850 - 2100 (dependent on model). These have been created through the concatenation of 20th century (20C3M) and other scenario (currently SRESA1B or SRESA2) data from a number of the 25 differant global climate models (GCM) from various countries. The SRESA1B_hfls dataset contains the Surface upward latent heat flux variable for various GCM's and runs (multiple runs being averaged to a single file if existing) under the SRESA1B scenario (SRESA1B emissions 2001 to 2100, then constant GHG 720ppm). These variables have also been further analysed to give monthly, seasonal and annual trend data, calculated from a monthly timeseries referenced to the area-weighted mean global warming values. 22 GCM models are available with data for variables being in 12 month, annual and 4 seasons(DJF, MAM,JJA,SON) format with 55 files totaling 7.12 GB as Netcdf files.

RV Investigator Voyage IN2019_V02 Triaxus (undulating CTD) Data

This record describes the data (CTD, Dissolved Oxygen, Transmissometer, PAR, ECO Triplet, Nitrate, Fluorescence and LOPC) collected using the towed TRIAXUS platform on Investigator voyage IN2019_V02, titled: "SOTS: Southern Ocean Time Series automated moorings for climate and carbon cycle studies southwest of Tasmania; Subantarctic Biogeochemistry of Carbon and Iron, Southern Ocean Time Series Site". The voyage took place from Hobart (TAS) to Hobart (TAS) between 14th March to 4th April, 2019.
Data for 3 Triaxus deployments were acquired in CAP CTD acquisition software using the Seabird SBE911 CTD 20. The deployments were conducted with a standard tow speed of between 7 to 9 knots and wire out ranged from 1050 to 1210 m.
During the first two deployments, we encountered issues with the Transmissometer and biofouling of sensors. On the second deployment a communications issue was also addressed.
Sea-Bird-supplied calibration factors and CSIRO supplied calibrations were used to compute the pressures, conductivity and temperature data. The data were subjected to automated QC to remove spikes and out-of-range values.
Dissolved oxygen sensors, Transmissometer and Cosine Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) sensor were also installed on the auxiliary A/D channels of the CTD. In addition to the auxiliary channels, ECO Triplet, Nitrate, FIRe and LOPC were mounted on the Triaxus as attached payloads.
The standard data product (1 decibar/10 second binned averaged) was produced using data from the secondary sensors to produce an along-track time-series dataset for each CAP scan files. These scan files were grouped into legs, each containing a section of the Triaxus deployment and in each leg, vertical casts were created with interpolated values from the along-track time-series binned dataset with a maximum interpolation distance of 3 casts. These generated the along-track and vertical cast section data products for each Triaxus deployment

RV Investigator Voyage IN2017_V04 Cephalopod specimens, Tasman Sea, Australia

Cephalopods were sampled from a cyclonic cold-core eddy in the western Tasman Sea, using midwater trawls from 10th to 12th September 2017 during a research voyage on Australia's Marine National Facility RV Investigator. Two different types of trawl equipment were used. The first trawl type sampled the upper 100 m of the eddy using a Danish pelagic trawl with 300 μm mesh, towed at approximately 1 m/s (2 knots) for 60 min per trawl (n= 9). The second trawl type was an International Young Gadoid Pelagic Trawl (IYGPT) fitted with a MIDwater Open and Closing net system with six distinct codends to enable depth stratified sampling. The IYGPT trawl has a mesh size of 200 mm reducing to 10 mm, and the codend mesh size was 500 μm. The IYGPT trawl was lowered to 500 m, with the first codend sampling obliquely from the surface to 500 m, and each subsequent codend sampled 100 m depth intervals for approximately 20 min each at 1 m/s, as the trawl returned to the surface. Data supporting this study are available from a GitHub repository archived using Zenodo https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3980411 - see citation (Murphy et al., 2020).

CCS - MV Bluefin 2017 V01 Sub Bottom Profiler

Project Overview:  A range of solutions will be required to reach globally agreed emissions reductions targets for carbon dioxide (CO2). Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is part of the suite of technologies that will contribute to lowering atmospheric emissions of CO2 from Australia's energy system. There are a wide variety of technologies at various stages of technical and commercial readiness, with more development underway for cost effective CO2 capture and storage. Our research will provide new knowledge to inform cost-efficient measurement, monitoring and verification (MMV) of the environment of CCS projects in coastal waters.

Northern Pelagic Shark Tagging Data 1983-1985 (releases), 1983-1997 (recaptures)

Between February 1983 and May 1985, some 10 500 sharks of 23 species were fin-tagged off northern Australia. Tagging concentrated on the commercially important Carcharhinus tilstoni and C. sorrah. Most recaptures were made in 1984 and 1985, but returns continued until May 1997. In all 579 tags (5.5%) were recovered. Tag shedding was estimated to be low (0.025 year1 for C. tilstoni) and tagging mortality was significantly lower for sharks caught by handline than by gillnet. Australian gillnetters, Taiwanese gillnetters (fishing in the Australian Fishing Zone) and Australian prawn trawlers accounted for most of the returns. The maximum distance between the release and recapture positions was over 1100 km, but most returns were made within 50 km of the tagging site. Nearly all of the releases were in inshore waters fished by Australian vessels. Although substantial numbers of recaptures were made by the offshore Taiwanese fishery, when fishing effort was considered, relatively few sharks appeared to move from inshore to offshore waters. This dataset contains the release and recapture information for all tag events and was collected as part of the CSIRO Northern Pelagic Fish Stock Research Project.
