Aurora Australis Voyage 2/3 2013/14 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 2/3 of the Aurora Australis Voyage in the 2013/14 season.  Voyages 2 and 3 were combined in the 2013/2014 season due to the delay in voyage 1 resulting from the helicopter accident at Davis station.  This voyage as also diverted to the Akademic Shokalsky tourist incident to render assistance.
Purpose of voyage: Macquarie Island summer changeover and Casey resupply
Leader: Ms. Leanne Millhouse
Deputy Leader: Mr. Mark Skinner
Underway (meteorological) data are available online via the Australian Antarctic Division Data Centre web page (or via the Related URL section).

Origins and Biological Accumulation of Small Plastic Particles in Fur Seals From Macquarie Island

From the abstract of the referenced paper:
One hundred and sixty four plastic particles (mean length 4.1 mm) recovered from the scats of fur seals (Arctocephalus spp.) on Macquarie Island were examined.
Electron micrographs of 41 of the plastic particles showed that none could be identified as plastic pellet feedstock from their shapes. Commonly, such pellets are cylindrical and spherical. Instead, all the 164 plastic particles from the seal scats were angular particles of 7 colors (feedstock particles are normally opaque or white) and could be classified into 2 categories: i) fragmented along crystal lines and likely to be the result of UV breakdown; and ii) worn by abrasion (where striations were clearly visible) into irregular shapes with rounded corners. White, brown, green, yellow and blue were the most common colors. In composition, they came from 5 polymer groups; polyethylene 93%, polypropylene 4%, poly(1-Cl-1-butenylene) polychloroprene 2%, melamine-urea (phenol) (formaldehyde) resin 0.5%, and cellulose (rope fiber) 0.5%. The larger groups are buoyant with a specific gravity less than that of seawater. These small plastic particles are formed from the breakdown of larger particles (fragments). Their origin seems to be from the breakdown of user plastics washed ashore and ground down on cobbled beaches.
Certainly most particles (70%) had attained their final form by active abrasion. It is hypothesized that the plastic particles were washed out to sea and then selected by size and consumed by individuals of a pelagic fish species, Electrona subaspera, who in turn were consumed by the fur seals. Thus, the particles were accumulated both by the fish and the seals in the usual process of their feeding.
The download file contains a pdf of the paper listed in the reference section below, as well as 48 scanning electron micrograph images of plastics recovered from fur seal scats.

Particle size spectra, laser optical plankton counter (LOPC) - data from the SIPEX II voyage of the Aurora Australis

This dataset contains vertical profiles of particles in the upper water column (60 m depth) at six sites. A laser optical plankton counter (LOPC) was deployed through a hole in the sea ice, or from the stern of the Aurora Australis, and lowered to 60 m, logging as it was lowered. The LOPC records particles in the size range 100 um to 20 mm, though the small aperture (7 cm x 7 cm) means that the largest particles are probably only sampled rarely.
For each site, the data are presented as normalised biomass for a series of equivalent spherical diameters (ESD). ESD is based on measurements of length and width of animals likely to be sampled via the LOPC (i.e. animals that are sampled at the same time with a traditional plankton net).
The data were collected on the SIPEX II voyage of the Aurora Australis, from 14/9/2012 to 16/11/2012. Sites were all located in first year pack ice; the ship would nudge up to a floe and then samples of ice, zooplankton, etc. were collected directly by working on the floe. The LOPC was either deployed through a large hole in the pack ice, or it was deployed off the stern of the AA. Method of deployment did not really have an impact on the data collected, it was more a logistical decision based on conditions.

Adelie penguin occupancy survey of the Robinson Group, 2006

An occupancy survey in November 2006 found a total of 29 islands in the Robinson Group of islands had populations of breeding Adelie penguins. The boundaries of breeding colonies at 27 of these islands with larger populations were subsequently mapped for abundance surveys by circumnavigating the perimeter of sub-colonies on foot while carrying a Garmin GPS (Legend Cx or Vista C) to log the track taken. The person walking around the sub-colonies maintained a buffer distance of 2-5m between themselves and the penguins at the sub-colony boundary. This buffer distance was reduced to between 1 and 4m in the final shapefiles.

TOMODEC. High resolution seismic tomography of Deception Island  (Antarctica), and modelling of seismo-volcanic sources. GRAVIMETRIC DATA

In January 2005 a multi-parametric international experiment was conducted that encompassed both Deception Island and its surrounding waters. This experiment used as main platforms the Spanish Oceanographic vessel 'Hesperides', the Spanish Scientific Antarctic base 'Gabriel de Castilla' at Deception Island and four temporary camps deployed on the volcanic island. This experiment allowed us to record active seismic signals on a large network of seismic stations that were deployed both on land and on the seafloor. In addition other geophysical data were acquired, such as: bathymetric high precision multi-beam data, and gravimetric and magnetic profiles. 
The gravimeter BELL AEROSPACE-TEXTRON  BGM-3 (at the present Lockheed Martin Federal Systems) is an acquisition system that can be used both in aerial and marine vehicles. The system has a sensor mounted in a gyro-stabilized platform. This system is composed of a gravimeter sensor, the stabilized platform and an acquisition system. Raw data are recorded and processed in a computer HP-486/50 using the own BGM software providing two types of data, raw and previously analyzed data. Acquired raw data are presented in the following format: $PRAWGRV, Day, Hour, Flag, Mean Value,. However, the analyzed data are transformed into:  $PHESGRV, Day, Hour, Flag, Mean Value, Value GRS67, Eotvos Correction, sinv, sinv. Potential 'flag' values associated to the sensor status are: 0: normal, 2: error, 5: starting.

Decommissioning particle sizing after a freeze-thaw laboratory based simulation of a permeable reactive barrier

The impact of freeze-thaw cycling on a ZVI and inert medium was assessed using duplicated Darcy boxes subjected to 42 freeze-thaw cycles.  This dataset consists of particle sizing during the decommissioning process of the experiment.  
Two custom built Perspex Darcy boxes of bed dimensions: length 362 mm, width 60 mm and height 194 mm were filled with a mixture of 5 wt% Peerless iron (Peerless Metal Powders and Abrasive, cast iron aggregate 8-50 US sieve) and 95 wt% glass ballotini ground glass (Potters Industries Inc. 25-40 US sieve).  This ratio of media was selected to ensure that most aqueous contaminant measurements were above the analytical limit of quantification (LOQ) for feed solutions at a realistic maximum Antarctic metal contaminant concentration at a realistic field water flow rate.  All solutions were pumped into and out of the Darcy boxes using peristaltic pumps and acid washed Masterflex FDA vitron tubing.
Dry media was weighed in 1 kg batches and homogenised by shaking and turning end over end in a ziplock bag for 1 minute.  To ensure that the media was always saturated, known amounts of Milli-Q water followed by the homogenised media were added to each box in approximately 1 cm layers.  20 mm of space was left at the top of the boxes to allow for frost heave and other particle rearrangement processes.
On completion of freeze-thaw cycling and solution flow (refer to Statham 2014), an additional series of assessments was conducted.  The media from between the entry weir and the first sample port was removed in five approximately 400 g samples of increasing depth.  This procedure was repeated between the last sample port and the exit weir.  These samples were left to dry in a fume cabinet before duplicated particle sizing using a Endcotts minor sieve shaker.

Deep Ocean Camera Observations, Dalton Polynya and Mertz Glacier region, V2 2014/15

The RSV Aurora Australis V2 – Casey Resupply and Marine Science Voyage took place from 5 December 2014 to 25 January 2015. The voyage code is v2_201415020. The principal objective of the voyage was to undertake the Casey Resupply and then conduct marine science in the Dalton Polynya and near the Mertz Glacier. 
A downwards looking video camera system was fitted to the CTD and operated during most casts. The system was remotely controlled and typically operated only while the CTD was near the bottom although some videos show the complete descent through the water column. 
The video footage for each deployment was labelled as follows:
VOYAGE_DATE_TIME_SITE.MTS
Where:
VOYAGE = v2_201415020
DATE = YYYY-MM-DD
TIME = HHMMUTC (in 24 hr time)
SITE = the CTD site name (e.g. SiteA5)
Details on each site, including geographic coordinates and depth, are available in the Marine Data Voyage Report. The underway data from the voyage is available here: https://data.aad.gov.au/metadata/records/201415020
