Aurora Australis Voyage 5 2009/10 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 5 of the Aurora Australis Voyage in the 2009/10 season.
Voyage Objectives: Macquarie Island resupply and personnel change-over.
Voyage Leader: Andy Cianchi
Deputy Voyage Leader: Mick Stapleton
Underway (meteorological) data are available online via the Australian Antarctic Division Data Centre web page (or via the Related URL section).

Determination of the regimes of production in the Antarctic sea-ice during SIPEX 2 using Si, N, and C stable isotope in-situ incubation experiments and 13C and 14C primary production method intercomparison

Overview of the project and objectives:
Assessing the contribution of the different N substrates to the primary production process, such as the biogenic silica production and dissolution in the Antarctic sea-ice provides a means to understand the biogeochemical system functioning. In such a semi closed-type system, assess incorporation rates of HCO3-, NO3-, NH4+, SiOH4, BSi dissolution, nitrification, C-release in close-by ice-cores (3 ice-cores dedicated to (i) 13C-assimilation + 15NH4+ uptake rate, (ii) 13C-assimilation + 15NO3- uptake rate and nitrification, (iii) Biogenic silica production and dissolution via 30Si isotope tool) will allow improving the knowledge of system functioning. This is also closely linked to the thematic of iron availability since these experiments are done close to / on the Trace Metal site allowing us to hopefully propose a relatively complete image of biogeochemical activity and relationship with trace metals on this site.
Methodology and sampling strategy:
Most of the time we worked close to / directly on the Trace Metal site following precautions concerning TM sampling (clean suits etc.). When we worked close to the TM site, precautions were not such important because we don't need the same drastic precautions for our own sampling. We work together because we want to propose a set of data which helps to characterize the system of functioning in close relation with TM availability (for that, sampling location have to be as close as possible). 14C and 13C-incubation experiment intercalibration work were conducted on the Biosite (different place than TM site except for station 7)
Incubation experiment samples are analyzed via (1) Elemental Analyzer - Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer (EA-IRMS) for carbon and nitrogen (VUB, Brussels, Belgium); (2) High Resolution Inductively Coupled Mass Spectrometer (HR-ICPMS) for silicon (RMCA, Brussels, Belgium).

MODIS Derived Primary Productivity: Overall Hotspots

The dataset indicates the long-term overall primary productivity hotspots of ocean surface waters. They are derived from MODIS (aqua) images using NASA's SeaDAS image processing software. The monthly chlorophyll a images between July 2002 and August 2014 are used to identify the overall primary productivity hotspots. The extent of the dataset covers the entire Australian EEZ and surrounding waters (including the southern ocean). The value (between 0 and 1.0) of the dataset represents the likelihood of the location being a primary productivity hotspot.
This research is supported by the National Environmental Science Program (NESP) Marine Biodiversity Hub through Project D1.

DMS, DMSP, DMSO measurements Minicosm Experiment, Davis 2002-03

Dimethylsulfide and its precursors and derivatives constitute a major sulfate aerosol source.  This dataset incorporates the potential for increased UV radiation effects due to stratospheric ozone depletion over spring and summer in Antarctica, using large-scale incubation systems and 13-14 day incubation periods.  Surface seawater (200 micron filtered) from the Davis coastal embayment was incubated during four experiments over the 2002-03 Antarctic Summer.
The data incorporates seawater measurements of DMS, DMSP and DMSO over a temporal progression during each incubation experiment.  Six polyethylene tanks of varying PAR and UV irradiances were incubated. Water was collected stored and analysed by gas chromatography according to a specific sampling protocol, employed by all investigators associated with the project. 
The data are organised according to analysis day, with each days calibration data displayed at the top of each sheet.  The sample code is followed by GC run number and then the raw count data from the GC.  This is calculated to nanomoles DMS, DMSP or DMSO.
Sample Codes: Codes for temporal data follow format X.XXXX
1st X gives experiment number, 1 to 4.
2nd X gives sampling day, 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 7, 14 (will result in digit code for day no. less than 10
3rd X gives tank number relating to irradiance level(one to six)
4th and 5th X is replicate number, (01, 02, 03, DMS), (04, 05,06, DMSP total), (07, 08, 09, DMSP dissolved), (10, 11, 12, DMSO total).
The fields in this dataset are:
Sample Code
Run Number from the GC
Counts - GC generated raw data
Log Counts - logarithmic conversion of the count data
Log -c - logarithmic conversion minus the y-intercept determined by calibration of the GC.
(log -c)/m - log -c divided by m, determined by calibration of the GC.
ngS anti log - nanograms of Sulfur
NaOH - NaOH adjustment
ngS/L - adjustment per litre
nM-DMSP/L - nanoMol's DMSP per litre
nm-DMS/L - nanoMol's DMS per litre
September 2013 Update: DMSO was analysed in these experiments according to an adaptation of the sodium borohydride (NaBH4) reduction method of Andreae (1980). The method has since been superseded and the data here probably displays inaccuracies as a result of the analytical method used. This DMSO data should be treated with caution.

Report on sediment core activities at Davis Station in 1985 by Lin Jian-ping

This is a scanned copy of the report of sediment core activities at Davis Station, 1985 by Lin Jian-ping.
Paraphrased from the abstract of the report:
Sediment deposited in the bottom of water provide a historical record of the biological and chemical changes which have occurred in the places since they were formed.  One of the research programs at Davis in 1985 was the sediment coring program.  Sediment cores were taken from some places of the Vestfold Hills, Antarctica, and were analysed for water content, total organic content and non-polar lipid content.

Bibliography of seabird diseases

This bibliography contains references to diseases, health, clinical biochemistry and pathology of captive and wild sea birds. The definition of a sea bird is broad and includes all species that feed within the marine environment and others which are related but inhabit other aquatic environments e.g. cormorants. The bibliography is comprehensive but not exhaustive. The compilers would appreciate lists of missed and new items for inclusion. These should be sent to the data officer at the Australian Antarctic Data Centre at the contact details listed below.

Satellite-derived high-resolution sea-ice motion in the Southern Ocean, 2015-2019 - ESA Sentinel1 Satellite Data

Sea-ice motion derived from two (partially) overlapping ESA Sentinel1 [S1]A or B scenes. Satellites S1A/B carry C-band (5.405 GHz) Synthetic Aperture Radar [SAR] sensors. For this data set images from the Extra Wide swath (EW) mode of operation (swath width 410 km) have been used. EW mode data are available as a medium-resolution ground range detected (GRD) product, i.e., resolution of 93 × 87 m and pixel size 40 × 40 m. Approximately two-thirds of the EW mode data recorded over the Antarctic area are dual-polarisation (HH + HV) products. The remainder are mainly single-polarisation (HH) products. For further detail, see ESA's Copernicus web portal.
Ice motion is derived from suitable SAR image pairs with sufficient spatial overlap but relatively short time separation, i.e. ideally 6 days or less. Image-crosscorrelation analysis is employed to identify displacement vectors within the image pair.

Bird habitat surveys conducted in the Windmill Islands during 2002/03 and descriptive information of the terrestrial Environment in the Windmill Islands

Very little information is available on the geomorphology of areas surrounding Australian Antarctic stations. This type of information is generally collected during geological surveys. This metadata record gathers a range of descriptive geomorphological information of various nature: 
-Habitat surveys were conducted in the season 2002-2003 in the Windmill Islands in parallel with bird nest mapping (reported in metadata record BIRDSCASEY0203) in order to study selection of nest sites by a range of species. Habitat was described in the survey sites searched for bird nests following various methods (described in BIRDSCASEY0203). Information is stored as GIS files (Arcview 3.2)
-polygon shapefile gathering all the geomorphological units.
-line shapefile describing habitat along transects used for searching bird nests
-polygon shapefile describing habitat in small 25*25m quadrats used for searching bird nests
-A collection of 1309 digital photos showing the sites searched for bird nests indexed by grid site number. Plus another set of 194 photos showing region of the Windmill Islands or bird nests more in detail
-A set of Digital Elevation Models (DEM) covering the entire Windmill Islands area generated separately for 18 regions.
-200m*200m grid created from the coverage of ice-free areas (Aerial photography 93-94) providing site numbers for the photographic database
-A series of Black and White aerial Photos (500 m, Zeiss, 1994) scanned at high resolution for the purpose of substrate study.
