Metadata details

aerial_photo_sea_ice_SIPEX

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

    The Australian Antarctic Division acquired aerial photographs of sea ice from helicopters using a digital Nikon D1X digital camera during Australian Antarctic Division voyage 1 2007/08 - Sea Ice Physics and Ecosystems Experiment (SIPEX).

    Voyage dates:
    SIPEX: 29 Aug 2007 to 16 Oct 2007

    The Related URLs in this metadata record include the urls of web pages with information about these voyages, urls for requesting for the photographs and urls for downloading information about the photographs.

    Some of the SIPEX aerial photographs were taken at ice stations. Refer to the metadata record 'An integrated study of processes linking sea ice and biological ecosystem elements off East Antarctica during winter', Entry ID: ASAC_2767, for information about the ice stations.

    The metadata record 'RAPPLS Surveys (Radar, Aerial Photography, Pyrometer, and Laser Scanning system) made during the SIPEX II voyage of the Aurora Australis, 2012', Entry ID: SIPEX_II_RAPPLS, describes the aerial photography conducted on SIPEX II, 13 Sep 2012 to 15 Nov 2012.

    Quality

    The locations of the photographs were collected with a Garmin GPS12, sent to the camera using the NMEA protocol, and embedded in image EXIF tags. The image metadata were the only record of photo centres logged at flight time.

    Flying heights are above the WGS84 ellipsoid in metres.

    See the EXIF header of an image for the aperture and shutter speed details for that image.

    Access

    The sets of photographs are not available for download due to combined file size but can be requested via Related URLs.
