ASAC_1164_AM04_Drilling

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).

    Quality

    See Readme file ... A range of drill system parameters (water T, line P, flow rate, drill speed, well depth sensor level, etc ...) were recorded during drilling for diagnostics ... monitoring and recording written as a Labview program ...

    Altitudes provided in spatial coverage are "above sea level" (asl). Maximum depth indicates a 600 m deep borehole was drilled.
