SIPEX_II_Ice_Station_CTD
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
We deployed CTD sensors on five of the SIPEX 2 ice stations for collecting temperature and salinity of the water column under the sea ice.
This dataset contains the raw data as outputted from the CTD in Excel format, in English.
The dates that the CTD were deployed are in the file names (i.e. 20121023 is October 23, 2012).
Quality
The CTD sensor didn't work well from the surface to 10m depth for the down-cast of Station 20120927.
