Description

This dataset contains the underway data collected during the Aurora Australis Voyage V3 2008/09.

Voyage Objectives : Deploy and Retrieve Personnel - JARE. Conduct marine science en-route along 110E. Deploy and retrieve personnel and fully resupply Syowa Station via helicopter over 40 miles of fast ice. Load RTA cargo. Conduct marine science en-route along 150E.
Voyage leader: Rob Bryson

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.
