All scientific data collected by the Australian Antarctic program (AAp) are eventually described in the Catalogue of Australian Antarctic and Subantarctic Metadata (CAASM). CAASM can be used to search through AAp data descriptions, and it also provides links to access publicly available datasets, which can either be immediately downloaded or obtained from the Australian Antarctic Data Centre (AADC).

Datasets and documents

Description

This dataset contains the underway data collected during the Tangaroa Voyage 5.1 1999-2000. This voyage carried out marine science studies off the Antarctic coast between the Dibble ice tongue and Ninnis glacier, departing from and returning to Wellington, NZ. Underway data were received from NIWA (PO Box 14-901, Kilburnie, Wellington, New Zealand) and can be accessed via the Australian Antarctic Division Data Centre web page (or via the Related URL section). For further information, see the Marine Science Support Data Quality Report at the Related URL section.

Quality

See the Marine Science Support Data Quality and Programmer's Reports at the Related URL section.

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 AADC 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.

Reports from the voyage are also available for download.
