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).
This dataset contains the underway data collected during Tangaroa Voyage VY1 - AWE - Australia-New Zealand Antarctic Whale Expedition - 2009/10 Track and Underway Data
Voyage Objectives: Antarctic Whale Expedition (AWE).
Voyage Leader: Anthony Hull
Deputy Voyage Leader: Sarah Robinson
The data have been acquired at 0.1 Hz. There will be the occasional invalid values 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.
