Aurora Australis Southern Ocean oceanographic data, cruise au1121 2010/11 VMS

Oceanographic measurements were collected aboard Aurora Australis cruise au1121, voyage "Marine Science" (i.e. voyage 2.1) 2010/2011, from 4th January to 6th February 2011.
The cruise commenced with a full north to south occupation of the CLIVAR/WOCE meridional repeat section SR3, followed by work around the Antarctic continental margin in the region of the Adelie Depression and the former Mertz Glacier ice tongue.
A total of 149 CTD vertical profile stations were taken on the cruise, most to within 15 metres of the bottom. Over 2000 Niskin bottle water samples were collected for the measurement of salinity, dissolved oxygen, nutrients (phosphate, nitrate+nitrite and silicate), oxygen-18, dissolved inorganic carbon (i.e. TCO2), alkalinity, pH, helium, tritium, and biological parameters, using a 24 bottle rosette sampler. Upper water column current profile data were collected by a ship mounted ADCP. Meteorological and water property data were collected by the array of ship's underway sensors. An array of 3 bottom mounted ADCP moorings were deployed near the Adelie Depression, for recovery in the 2012/13 season.
Underway data were also collected on this voyage, and are linked to this metadata record at the provided URL.  A detailed readme is available as part of the download.
Finally, ADCP (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler) data are also linked, and are in Matlab format.

Davis Coastal Seabed Mapping Survey, Antarctica (GA4301/AAS2201/HI468) - Interpreted Geomorphic Map

The Davis Coastal Seabed Mapping Survey, Antarctica (GA-4301 / AAS2201 / HI468) was conducted on the Australian Antarctic Division workboat Howard Burton during February-March 2010 as a component of Australian Antarctic Science (AAS) Project 2201 - Natural Variability and Human Induced Change on Antarctic Nearshore Marine Benthic Communities. 
The survey was undertaken as a collaboration between Geoscience Australia, the Australian Antarctic Division and the Australian Hydrographic Service (Royal Australian Navy). The survey acquired multibeam bathymetry and backscatter datasets from the nearshore region of the Vestfold Hills around Davis Station, Antarctica. These datasets are described by the metadata record with ID Davis_multibeam_grids.
This dataset comprises an interpreted geomorphic map produced for the central survey area using multibeam bathymetry and backscatter grids and their derivatives (e.g. slope, contours). Six geomorphic units; basin, valley, embayment, pediment, bedrock outcrop and scarp were identified and mapped using definitions suitable for interpretation at the local scale (nominally 1:10 000). Polygons were created using a combination of automatic extraction and manual digitisation in ArcGIS. 
For further information on the geomorphic mapping methods and a description of each unit, please refer to OBrien P.E., Smith J., Stark J.S., Johnstone G., Riddle M., Franklin D. (2015) Submarine geomorphology and sea floor processes along the coast of Vestfold Hills, East Antarctica, from multibeam bathymetry and video data. Antarctic Science 27:566-586.

Visual sightings of krill swarms at the sea surface from the Aurora Australis during the BROKE-West voyage, 2005-2006

A collection of data files detailing visual sightings of krill swarms on the sea surface from the Aurora Australis during the BROKE-West voyage, 2005-2006.
These data were additional data collected by whale observers.  See the record, "BROKE-West_Cetaceans" for full details on the process of collecting whale observations.  In summary though, observers were present from the time the vessel departed Fremantle until it approached Hobart.  Observers worked whenever light, weather and sea conditions permitted.  Generally between two and five observers were working at any given time (see the above cetaceans metadata record for more information).
The download file contains:
- GIS shapefiles showing the locations of the recorded swarms on the ship's track.
- A csv and Excel file of the recorded observations.
- Several map images showing the ship's track and the observed swarms.
The BROKE-West survey was conducted on voyage 3 of the Aurora Australis during the 2005-3006 season. It was intended to be a comprehensive biological and oceanographic survey of the region between 30 degrees and 80 degrees east.

Snow, sea ice, slush, brine and seawater: Oxygen isotopic ratio data from the SIPEX II voyage of the Aurora Australis, 2012

During the ice stations, sea ice, brine/slush, snow and under-ice water sampling were collected for oxygen isotopic ratio. Ice cores were collected using a Kovacs 9 cm diameter ice corer. The ice core for oxygen isotopic ratio was cut directly after retrieval with a stainless steel folded saw. The core was cut generally into 10 cm sections (20 cm when ice cores were higher than 200 cm) and put into zip-lock polyethylene bags. Care was taken to use laboratory gloves when collecting the cores. For brine sampling, partial core holes were drilled into the ice (so called sackholes), usually to a depth of 25 cm and 50 cm. At site with flooding, brine collection was not possible, and samples of the surface slush were collected instead. Slush was collected by plastic shovel. Snow samples were also collected. Under-ice water was collected with a Teflon water sampler (GL Science Inc., Japan) 1, 3, 5 m below the bottom of the sea ice. In addition, CTD water sampling was examined at each station. The cores were taken back to the ship, and transferred to the gas tight bag (GL Science Inc., Japan), and then ice was melted at about +4 degrees C in a refrigerator. Melted samples were sub-sampled for each component. The snow samples were treated in the same manner as the sea ice samples for further analysis. 
Oxygen isotopic ratio was determined with a mass spectrometer (DELTA plus; Finnigan MAT, USA) in Hokkaido University. Oxygen isotopic ratio in per mil (parts per thousand) was defined as the deviation of H2 18O/H2 16O ratio of the measured sample to that of the standard mean ocean water (SMOW). The precision of oxygen isotopic ratio analysis from duplicate determinations is plus or minus 0.02 parts per thousand (Toyota et al., 2007).
Data available: excel files containing sampling station name, dates, and oxygen isotopic ratio.

To Establish the Baseline Parameters for the Haematology and Red Blood Cell Metabolism of the Southern Elephant Seal (Mirounga leonina)

Metadata record for data from ASAC Project 545
See the link below for public details on this project.
From the abstract of the referenced paper:
Blood was collected for haematological, red cell enzyme and red cell metabolic intermediate studies from 20 Southern elephant seals Mirounga leonina.  Mean haematological values were: haemoglobin (Hb) 22.4 plus or minus 1.4 g/dl, packed cell volume (PCV) 54.2 plus or minus 3.8%, mean cell volume (MCV) 213 plus or minus 5 fl and red cell count (RCC) 2.5 x 10 to power 12 / l.  Red cell morphology was unremarkable.  Most of the red cell enzymes showed low activity in comparison with human red cells.  Haemoglobin electrophoresis showed a typical pinniped pattern, ie two major components.  Total leucocyte counts, platelet counts, and coagulation studies were within expected mammalian limits.  Eosinophil counts varied from 0.5 x 10 to power 9 / l (5%-49%), and there was a very wide variation in erythrocyte sedimentation rates, from 3 to 60mm/h.
