Metadata details
200708030
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).

Description
This dataset contains the underway data collected during the Aurora Australis Voyage V3 2007/08.
Voyage Objectives : CEAMARC/CASO Marine Science
Leader: Dr. Martin Riddle
Deputy Leader: Miss. Sarah Robinson
Undertake marine science as part of the CEAMARC-CASO program (including the deployment and retrieval of moorings). CASO work was primarily undertaken on a later voyage, and this voyage mainly focussed on CEAMARC work.
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.
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.
