Environmental data of the Southern Ocean, 1955-2012

Environmental descriptors that are available for the study area (-180 degrees W/+180 degrees E; -45 degrees/-78 degrees S) and for the following periods: 1955-1964, 1965-1974, 1975-1984, 1985-1994, 1995-2012. They were compiled from different sources and transformed to the same grid resolution of 0.1 degree pixel. We also provide future projections for environmental descriptors established based on the Bio-Orable database (Tyberghein et al. 2012). They come from IPCC scenarii (B1, AIB, A2) for years 2100 and 2200 (IPCC, 4th report).

ARGOS Tracking Data of Fur Seals from Macquarie Island in 1997-1999

The populations of fur seals on Australia's two subantarctic islands were exterminated by uncontrolled sealing in the 19th century. Only in the latter half of the 20th century have populations commenced recovering. This project provides key information on the status and trends of recovering fur seal populations in the Southern Ocean, including information on the distribution of foraging effort, food and energy requirements, oceanographic determinants of demographic performance, ecological interactions with commercial fisheries, the extent, trends, processes and implications of hybridisation at Macquarie Island, and the status and trends in numbers of the threatened subantarctic fur seal.
This dataset represents ARGOS tracking data of fur seals from Macquarie Island during 1997-1999.  The tracking data are comprised of 28 data profiles.
Taken from the abstract of the referenced paper:
Antarctic Arctocephalus gazella and subantarctic Arctocephalus tropicalis fur seals breed sympatrically at Macquarie Island.  The two species have different lactation strategies, the former rearing its pup in 4 months and the latter taking 10 months.  The diet and at-sea foraging behaviour of these sympatric species was compared during the austral summer period when their pup rearing period overlapped.  The prey of the two fur seal species was very similar, with fish dominating the diet.  Themyctophid, Electrona subaspera, was the main prey item (93.9%) in all months of the study.  There were no major differences in the diving behaviour between species.  Both species foraged north of the island parallel to the Macquarie Ridge.  Foraging activity was concentrated at two sites: (i) within 30 km north of the island; and (ii) at 60 km north.  Most locations for overnight foraging trips were within 10 km of the colonies.  The different lactation strategies of A. gazella and A. tropicalis allowed for flexibility in foraging behaviour.  At Macquarie Island, the local marine environmental conditions have resulted in similar foraging behaviour for both species.

Census of Antarctic Marine Life (CAML) Archive of Project Documentation - CAML_Project_Archive.CAML_South_America

The Census of Antarctic Marine Life (CAML) Project Archive is a collection of scanned documents, maps, videos, and other related material that comprise the organisation and management documentation associated with a major research project of international significance. CAML measured the distribution and abundance of life in the Southern Ocean around Antarctica so that future impacts of climate change and human activities can be better understood. CAML coordinated the largest-ever survey of the Southern Ocean with 18 voyages in Antarctic waters, and inventoried over 16,000 marine species with hundreds new to science, provided DNA barcodes for 1,500 species, and has so far produced more than 600 scientific publications. CAML is a key activity of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR); a subproject of the Census of Marine Life (CoML); and was a major initiative of the 2007-2009 International Polar Year (IPY).

Downward looking, ice-mounted ADCP data collection during the SIPEX II voyage of the Aurora Australis, 2012

A 600KHz Teledyne RDI Workhorse Sentinel ADCP was deployed through a 10inch auger hole, flush with the base of the ice, looking downwards. At ice stations 2, 3, and 4 the deployment locations was Ridge site 1, the ridge site closest to the ship.
At ice station 7 there were 4 different deployment locations:
- Transducer Hole A, by active ridge on 6th October 2012;
- Trace Metal / Bio Site;
- 100m Core site of ice-physics transect;
- Transducer Hole A, re-drilled on 7th October 2012.
Length of deployment varies from stations to station and was limited by AUV operations, when our ADCP was switched off. 
Files contain the data collected in raw format. This format can be read by Teledyne WinSC software.  Data files are stored in folders by ice station (see below).

K-Axis voyage of the Aurora Australis, 2015-16 season - Kerguelen Axis Marine Science parent metadata record

The Kerguelen Axis voyage was planned to collect data to enhance the realism of end-to-end ecosystem models being developed in the Antarctic Climate and Ecosystems Cooperative Research Centre, to investigate the effects of climate change and ocean acidification on Southern Ocean ecosystems in the Indian Sector (particularly in relation to factors affecting the northern distribution of Antarctic krill) and to contribute to assessment of the spatial relationship of mesopelagic mid-trophic level species, in particular zooplanktivores, to foraging strategies by marine mammals and birds on the Kerguelen Plateau.
Nine projects were undertaken aboard the Aurora Australis. Each project had individual objectives and outputs, and there are metadata records for each data set collected. They were designed to be complementary in order that the whole data set and project analyses could be used to address the objectives of the Kerguelen Axis program. Observations will be contributed to the Southern Ocean Observing System (SOOS) and will facilitate the design of future ecosystem observing in the region.

Effects of helicopters on Antarctic wildlife

This study aimed to quantify the effects of helicopter operations on Antarctic wildlife, with an emphasis on determining minimum safe over-flight altitudes and landing distances for a range of species.  An experimental approach was adopted whereby wildlife were exposed to helicopters either over-flying or landing at specific altitudes or distances while the behaviour, and in some cases physiology, of individual animals were recorded. Two types of helicopters were used in the study: a Sikorsky S-76 (twin engine) and a Squirrel AS350 (single engine). This metadata record relates to the responses of Adelie Penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae) over a number of phases of their breeding cycle.

Aurora Australis Southern Ocean oceanographic data, cruise au9604 - BROKE

Oceanographic measurements were conducted along a series of meridional and zonal sections along the Antarctic continental shelf and slope region between 80 and 150 deg.E, from January to March 1996 during the BROKE cruise of the Aurora Australis. A total of 147 CTD vertical profile stations were taken, most to near bottom. Over 2450 Niskin bottle water samples were collected for the measurement of salinity, dissolved oxygen, nutrients (phosphate, nitrate+nitrite, silicate), chlorofluorocarbons, oxygen 18, primary productivity, and biological parameters, using a 24 bottle rosette sampler. Near surface current data were collected using a ship mounted ADCP. Measurement and data processing techniques are summarised, and a summary of the data are presented in graphical and tabular form.
