Description

This dataset contains the underway data collected during the MS Nella Dan Voyage V5 1980/81 (FIBEX).

Voyage name : First International BIOMASS Experiment
Voyage leader: Knowles Ronald Kerry

Underway (meteorological) data are available online via the Australian Antarctic Division Data Centre web page (or via the Related URL section).

Quality

The data have been acquired at 0.1 Hz. There will be the occasional invalid value such as temperatures being out of range.

This dataset has not been checked. Please verify the data before use.

Where data for a particular sensor do not exist for a particular time, the last known value is used unless the sensor has been disabled or has encountered an error. For example, some sensors only record data every minute, but the resolution for the underway dataset is 10 seconds, so the same value will be used 6 times a minute. No averages are taken for sensors that capture data at a rate other than every 10 seconds. Instead, each record will be a snapshot of each sensor at that time.

Access

Data are available online via the Australian Antarctic Division Data Centre web page. A "supplementary" dataset is also available for download from the provided URL. It contains raw data collected directly from the ship, which has not been quality checked.

Furthermore, a report from the voyage is also publicy available for download from the provided URL.
