Description

These data will be used to determine the amount (mass) and types of food sent to Casey station.

These data have been provided by Noel Tennant of the Australian Antarctic Division, and were not collected as part of the project.

Below is information provided by Noel:
"Attached is a copy of our full food stock list. This one shows the stock on hand figures from the previous year at Casey, along with a par level for each item and an order quantity.
In the par level column you will see that some figures are in orange while the rest are in blue. Those in orange indicate the number of kg's per person/year, while the blue figures are the total number of units of each product required for a year. We estimate from the stock-take figures how much will be remaining when the ship arrives for resupply. This estimated quantity remaining (EQR) is subtracted from the par level amount giving the quantity to order.
Most frozen products are written off at the end of the resupply year so a full supply of each of those items is supplied every year."

Quality

Most of the data are based on mass, with some data based on a unit of goods moved. For the units of goods moved, masses will be estimated by finding an equivalent food and packaging type on external websites (e.g. food service providers).
