Improved measurement of Antarctic sea ice thickness using electromagnetic induction techniques

Metadata record for data from ASAC Project 1212.
See the link below for public details on this project.
---- Public Summary from Project ----
This project aims to improve ship-based sea-ice thickness measurements made using an electromagnetic induction device by performing a theoretical analysis of the sensitivity of the electromagnetic instrument to factors such as instrument height and orientation, ice conductivity and thickness, and seawater conductivity. The results of the theoretical study will be used to assist the interpretation of an existing sea-ice thickness data set from the Mertz Glacier polynya cruise (V1, 1999/2000). 
The data set consists of the results of numerical modelling of the response of the EM31 electromagnetic instrument to typical one- and three-dimensional sea ice structures.  One-dimensional model calculations were performed using software written specifically for the project.  Three-dimensional model calculations were performed using Marco_air version 2.3, written by Z. Xiong and A. Raiche, CSIRO Mathematical Geophysics Group.  Technical descriptions of this program are given in the preceding References section.
The download file below contains some numerical output from the models, as well as a detailed description of the models used.

A database of Scientific Voyages of the Australian Antarctic Programme.

A register of all voyages that contribute to the science of the Australian Antarctic Programme. It includes voyages that opportunistically collect marine data while underway.
Details have been gleaned from historic paper records, publications, voyage situation reports and reports from marine science cruises.
Products linked to each voyage include a map, voyage schedule and a list of any science related activities on the voyage.
The application links to various external resources within the Antarctic Division such as daily shipping reports, passenger lists and various sets of data.
NOTE - Support for this application was put "on hold" after the 2013/2014 season.
  Hence, only voyages up until that season are included in the database.  This decision may be revisited at some time in the future.

Bathymetric Profiling of the Antarctic Continental Margin

Metadata record for data from ASAC Project 933
See the link below for public details on this project.
Australian Antarctic and Southern Ocean Profiling Project (AASOPP) was the outcome of a government decision in 1999 that it would carry out the necessary work to place Australia in a position to be able to prepare a submission defining the outer limit the 'extended Continental Shelf' (ECS) off the Australian Antarctic Territory (AAT).  The ECS is the area of seabed/subsoil jurisdiction extending beyond the 200 nautical mile Exclusive Economic Zone, and is defined by Article 76 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.
AASOPP was set up in 2000, under the management of the Department of Finance and Administration and in consultation with the Australian Antarctic Division, to undertake the acquisition and interpretation of the data that would underpin a UN submission.  Technical aspects of the work were largely the responsibility of the Australian Geological Survey Organisation and the Australian Surveying and Land Information Group (later Geoscience Australia).
Marine geophysical surveys were conducted in 2001/2 and 2002/3 by the primary contractors, FUGRO Geoteam supervised by AGSO (Geoscience Australia) using the vessels Geoarctic and Polar Duke (survey numbers GA227, GA228 and GA229). Data collected were seismic reflection, sonobuoy seismic refraction, magnetic and gravity profiles. Data processing was supervised by Geoscience Australia where they are archived. Seismic data were lodged with the SCAR Seismic Data Library.
Law of the Sea interpretations were lodged as part of the Australian submission to the United Nations by November, 2004 with a request not to examine the Antarctic case until requested.

Southern Ocean Benthic Classification (SOBC) - ecoregions, bathomes and environmental types

This dataset is intended for general use in spatial planning and management to identify areas where benthic marine assemblages are likely to differ from each other in the Southern Ocean. We achieve this by using a hierarchical spatial classification of ecoregions, bathomes and environmental types. Ecoregions are defined according to available data on biogeographic patterns and environmental drivers on dispersal. Bathomes are identified according to depth strata defined by species distributions. Environmental types are uniquely classified according to the geomorphic features found within the bathomes in each ecoregion.  This circum-Antarctic map of environmental types can be used to support spatial management aimed at conserving benthic biodiversity across the entire Southern Ocean. 
The study area spans the region managed by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR). The northern boundary of this region is a line approximating the location of the Polar Front. The southern boundary was defined as the northern edge of the permanent ice shelf of the Antarctic continent.
The shapefile can be used to identify three levels of the hierarchical classification (see Fig. 1 of Douglass et al., 2014):
1) Level 1: Ecoregions
2) Level 2b: Geomorphic features nested in each ecoregion
3) Level 3: Environmental Types
The dataset cannot be used to analyse a level 2a nesting since for some geomorphic features (e.g. seamounts and canyons) the nested bathomes were combined when generating environmental types. If a level 2a nesting is required please contact douglass.lucinda@gmail.com 
The shapefile contains ten fields:
EcoID- Abbreviated Level 1 benthic ecoregion names
Ecoregion- Level 1 benthic ecoregion names
Geomorph2- Geomorphic features
BathID- Bathome identification number which can be used to sort the depth classes
Bathome2 - Bathome 
EcoGeo- Level 2b nesting of geomorphic features in each ecoregion
EnvTyp- Level 3 environmental types
GeoClsID- Geomorphic class identification number
GeoCls- Geomorphic classes
Sqkm- Area in square kilometers

Balance ice fluxes for the Antarctic Ice sheet

Balance Ice Fluxes for the Antarctic ice sheet.
These ice fluxes (in km^2/yr)represent the (hypothetical) distribution of ice flux that would keep the Antarctic ice sheet in its present shape (i.e. surface topography), under the influence of a prescribed accumulation distribution.
The present fluxes were computed using computer code BalanceV2 (by Warner) (outlined in Budd and Warner 1996, and detailed in Fricker, Warner and Allison 2000), using the surface accumulation dataset of Vaughan et al (1999), and the ice sheet surface elevation dataset distributed by BEDMAP (attributed to Liu et al 1999).
This ice flux dataset represents the (hypothetical) distribution of ice flux that would keep the ice sheet topography in its present shape, under the influence of the given accumulation distribution.

Under-ice Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) profiles

As part of Australian Antarctic Science project # 4298 and Antarctica New Zealand project K131A, integrated biological and physical observations were conducted including these series of CTD measurements. 
The objective of these measurements is to quantify the oceanographic conditions at our field camp off Davis Station in November-December 2015.
In situ CTD measurements at the thermistor and the ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) sites were deployed using a Seabird-37SMP-ODO MicroCat CTD. Logistics and environmental constraints permitted measurements for seven casts during our deployment at Davis in 2015. The location of the thermistor site is at (-68.57272 degrees N; 77.93273 degrees E), and the ROV site had its origin (x=0, y=0) at (-68.568904 degrees N,+77.945439 degrees E).
The software used was the standard SeatermV2 2.4.1.

Nella Dan: ADBEX II Cruise - Krill and Zooplankton data

This dataset contains results from the Antarctic Division BIOMASS Experiment II (ADBEX II) cruise of the Nella Dan.  This is the third cruise of six, and follows the ADBEX I cruise made during late 1982. ADBEX II was to have been an international experiment, Second International BIOMASS Experiment I (SIBEX I), in cooperation with Japan, South Africa and France, however due to the delay of a supply program Australia's participation was cancelled. ADBEX II is the result of a reduced sampling program carried out during the resupply of Davis and Mawson stations. Surveys of krill and other zooplankton were taken off Antarctica in the Australian sector (Mawson to Davis region) and Prydz Bay in January 1984. Species identity and abundance data were obtained. The major species investigated were Euphausia superba, Euphausia frigidia, Euphausia crystallorophias and Thysanoessa marcuria. Other pteropods and cephalopods were also studied. Results from hydroacoustic surveys of krill biomass were also obtained, as well as CTD and chlorophyll data. Summary results are listed in the documentation.
