SIPEX_II_Ice_Floe_Survey
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
These data were collected to provide a spatial context for activities on SIPEX-2.
Please see the document 'SIPEX II ice floe surveying report' for more detail.
Files generated and stored in this dataset will be familiar to users of Trimble and Leica GPS equipment, and the UNAVCO 'teqc' utility. Please refer to the relevant documentation from Leica, Trimble and UNAVCO.
Total station data is extracted to comma separated point lists with either .csv of .asc extensions. The point code list is named 'totalstation.codelist.txt'. It also forms an appendix of the surveying report.
